Pista Avil Milk

Pista Avil Milk is a delightful variation of the traditional Malabar beverage, distinguished by its vibrant green color and rich pistachio flavor, which is either achieved by using a pistachio-flavored milk base, a scoop of pista ice cream, or a dash of pistachio essence. This version elevates the classic combination of crunchy roasted beaten rice (aval), creamy mashed bananas, and chilled milk by infusing it with the distinct, nutty taste of pistachios. Often garnished with finely chopped pistachios and other nuts, it not only offers a refreshing and satisfying texture—a mix of the softness of the banana and the crispness of the aval and nuts—but also a unique flavor profile that makes it a popular and visually appealing twist on the original.
