Contexto cultural
The 'Pazham-Paal' offering is a sign of devotion. Using this idiom subtly invokes a sense of divine blessing or 'everything being right with the world'. Mashing banana in milk is often the first 'solid' food for babies in Kerala. It represents the ultimate comfort food and maternal love. In many Kerala weddings, the couple shares a bowl of milk and banana. This is the literal enactment of the idiom, wishing them a life of harmony. Old Malayalam movie songs frequently use this phrase to describe the 'Golden Age' or a perfect romance.

If you aren't sure, just add 'pole' (like) at the end. It makes the idiom safer to use in any context.
Not for Sadness
Never use this for something that is 'easy' but negative, like 'it was easy to fail'.
