MILKSHAKE RECIPES
Aval milk is the authentic drink of Malabar, Kerala. A rich, healthy, delicious drink that satisfies both hunger and taste buds. This preparation of Avil milk is very unique to the Malappuram district in Kerala and in fact, those people who have knowledge regarding this might say that this special drink evolved firstly at Kottakkal, Malappuram district, which is my native place.
