Jau is Barley and Munaqqa is raisins and/or a sauce made from Raisins.

Thanks, Shay...I was thinking about Barley too but someone said it's not barley but Oats and it confused me a bit..

As for raisins, there are SO many different kinds such as sultana raisins, golden raisins etc...Is munaqqa a certain kind of raisin?

Munaqqa is known as Prunes in English and it is easily available in asian or local grocery store.
