RecipeIngredients
  • 2 cups fresh or fresh frozen coconut (grated or sliced) or dried shredded coconut
  • 2½ cups warm water (not boiling) in divided portions
RecipeInstructions
For making coconut milk:
  1. If using frozen coconut, thaw it first at either room temperature or in the microwave for about 30 secs.
  2. Blend the coconut with half of the the warm water(about 1 and ½ cups) in a food processor or blender.(If using dried shredded coconut, blend for longer time)
  3. Place a large fine mesh strainer over a large bowl. Strain the coconut mixture through this to get coconut milk in the bowl. You can use your hands to squeeze the coconut meat.
  4. Put the squeezed coconut meat back into the blender along with the rest of the warm water (1 cup) and again blend for another 30 secs or so.
  5. Once again pass this mixture through strainer. You will get about 3 cups of coconut milk. Pour half of the extracted coconut milk in a bottle or jar and place in fridge. Keep the rest aside.
