Recreating the Phalahari Drink with “Tapioca Pearl and Avocado” I first tasted in San Francisco in a Korean restaurants. It is a popular Korean drink available in every Korean restaurant in California.

The recipe not only allows me to relive those moments but also to share a piece of my journey with you viewers.

It’s wonderful how food and drinks can transport us back to special places and times, turning a simple meal into a storytelling session and a cultural exchange.

The drink is a refreshing and nutritious that fits perfectly within the dietary restrictions of Hindu fasting rituals.

This drink combines the creamy texture of avocado with the playful chewiness of tapioca pearls, creating not only delightful appearance but amazing drink for fasting days.

Avocado, rich in healthy fats and vitamins, offers a smooth, buttery consistency that pairs beautifully with the slightly sweet and gelatinous tapioca pearls.

Served chilled or at room temperature, this Phalahari drink is a luxurious treat. So lets starts with boiling tapioca pearl…
