Butter Shake
Posted by Annita on March 21, 2006
Long back,I’ve had a butter fruit shake from Mananchira Square,Calicut which is the Home of Shakes.The drink in its pale green color was just awesome and its flavour had forced me to visit the shake shop again on my next Calicut visit.But I couldn’t have it then,as the fruit was not available at that time.In fact,I didn’t get a chance to taste it after that ,eventhough I’ve made 3 or 4 attempts.I didn’t even know how does this butter fruit looked like.Anyway its divine & deadly taste still stays with me.(See a shake menu below..You can see butter shake in that..I got it from here.)
Last week my friend Shuba suggested to try it with Avocado .She got this idea from Mahanandi(Avocado Chapati ),in which Indira had mentioned about Avocado as nature’s butter.Thanks to Indira & Shuba..it did work out with avocado and it tasted exactly the same..I missed it all these years… |

Thanks for the mention, Annita. We also get avocados back in India, huh… I wasn’t aware of that before.
Nice photo of the menu.
SO how did this drink taste? More on the bland side or just superb? I’m curious.
Thanks.
Even I wasn’t sure abt it Indira..But the drink tastes just superb Indira..With a little vanilla essence..it tastes like icecream..

I didn’t know they have avocados in India! I always tell my mom about how good this milkshake tastes, and from my explanation of the fruit she could not figure out what I am talking about. Let me ask her about butterfruit then. Thanks
Even I haven’t seen avocados in India..But i’ve had the butter shake and its quite tasty too

Hey Annita, lovely recipes, I do keep visiting ur blog often.
Coming upto Butter Fruit, its available in Hill stations like Kodaikanal, and since I hail from this place, I have tasted it a lot many times. This fruit, almost looks a big raw mango, and when opened, from inside, it just resembles butter or cream, just add sugar to it and taste it, its heavenly… so I suppose the butter shake is made of this fruit, which is a seasonal fruit.
Keep posting all such gud recipes
janani
I love avocados,janani..And i’ve tried it as you suggested..It tastes great..thanks for this

Hey Annita, are you sure Avocado is butterfruit?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avocado does not mention avocado is cultivated in Inida.
I’m not sure if Avocado is same as Butterfruit..But it surely tastes similar…And i’ve received many comments saying that it grows in India too..>Check out the comment section pls

Hello,
I have started drinking this great drink long long back and is still one of my favs. As I belong to Calicut, I can drink whenever I wish to, So lucky na.
But presently I am in Saudi Arabia and luckily one day , My saudi fren took me to a Juice shop and gave Avocado Juice to me. I was surprised to taste it and was totally happy to drink the same Butter Shake.And the funniest part is that when I explained him about this and the availablity in my home country, he was so jealoues of me and always says me to get this friut from India. This is an amazing mix of fritu with Milk and a great drink.
Rashad
Yeah…i agree with you,Rasheed..U r so lucky to belong to calicut…its the home of the best shakes,I must say…not only shakes…one of the best places for a foodie,rt?

Not only Tamil Nadu, but Karnataka, Maharashtra, Himachal and Arunachal as well as Sikkim, produces Avocados.
Eat Avocados to get a wrinkle free face. Highest percentage of Collagen than any other fruit.

Hi,
Butter fruit is green on the outside but i think Avacado is just a darker version. N butter fruit is from coorg basically is wat i found online :)
I added lil vanilla ice cream to the scooped buttery fruit n bit elaichi powder n some sugar.
Tasted ofcourse wow! :)
Pradeep said
Yes, Butter fruit is nothing but Avacado. We have a Butter fruit tree, in our house.
Butter fruit (Avacado) when ripens becomes dark. This fruit will not have any taste but we get some buttery feeling when we taste it.This fruit is best for Kids to Adults.
I just had a Butter Fruit juice…

Butter fruit (Avocado) grows a lot in Kodaikanal in Tamil Nadu, India. I got initiated to the fruit there.

I tried this delicious milk shake and my little one loves it. We love it even without vanilla essence. It’s so easy to make, no peeling required, just cut open, remove the seed and scoop out the flesh and blend it with milk and sugar …yummo!Thanks Annita for this wonderful recipe.

Hi Anita,
I am from Coorg and reside in Bangalore. For as long as memory has served, I remember butter fruit trees inhabiting my parents home and grandfathers estate. It can simply be whipped with some sugar and can give run to icecream on the best of days. You get them in Bangalore at supermarkets and during summers in fruit shops.
