This unique summer cooler is made by adding mashed ripe banana, milk and sugar to roasted Chudwa (Aval/Pressed Rice), and served in a tall glass garnished with groundnuts and cashews. This is a perfect drink to have during hot summer months!!

This is a very tasty drink with sweet and cold milk with mashed bananas and nicely soaked Chudwa. The crunch of cashews and groundnuts adds to the pleasure! One glass of this Aval drink is very filling.

Banana Milk Shake is quite a familiar preparation. But this Aval Banana Milk Shake has a unique Kerala twist to it. This simple drink is trending well in the Malabar region of Kerala. It is like a customised drink prepared for you on order immediately.

The Aval Milk is made in two ways. If the Aval Milk is garnished with cashew and Horlicks [powder it may cost about 25 Rupees. It may be topped with Vanilla Ice cream; and then it may cost Rs. 45.

Tips

Aval (Chudwa/ Pressed Rice):

• In Kerala generally red Aval or Red Pressed Rice is used. I could not procure those, and so I have used the thick white Chudwa.

• Remember to roast the Chudwa on a small flame slowly to prevent getting the stuff burnt.

Banana:

• You may use any variety of Banana. The desi variety, or the vangadam variety or any other will be suitable for this drink. Any sweet ripe Banana will taste quite well.

• Mash the Banana with a Potato or Dal masher so that half may get pulpy and half is in small pieces. That will be ideal for the Aval Milkshake.

Milk:

• Boiled and refrigerated cold milk only should be used for the Aval Milk. In Kerala they like to use even Curdled Milk.

Groundnuts:

• Roast groundnuts on a small flame so that they get roasted evenly without getting black burnt spots.

Method of Serving:

• Serve the Aval Milk as soon as the Chudwa has been added. The ideal thing is to have some of Aval still crisp in the milk. If you let the Chudwa be soaked in the milk too long, it will be soggy and does not taste good.
