HOME MADE COCONUT MILK RECIPE|HOW TO MAKE COCONUT MILK |INDIAN KITCHEN BASICS

Coconut-Milk

  Coconut milk generally , my mom makes at home. After coming to Singapore, we get coconut milk in different forms. We get fresh coconut milk, in tetra paks and also coconut powder too. So it was too convenient for me and i rarely make it  at home. But the taste which we make it at home is truly amazing, and it is very easy too. I realised this when i made this at home yesterday. I used this coconut milk for Paal kozhukattai. You can have coconut milk for Aapam or Idiyappam too. I have used coconut milk for my Tomato biryani.

Ingredients

Method:
  • Break the coconut just before you want to make the coconut milk. 
  • Grate the coconut, if possible carefully grate only the white part of the coconut.
  • Take 1 cup of grated coconut and put it in a mixie. Add 1/2 cup of warm water to this and  grind smoothly.

  • Strain the liquid in a fine strainer and squeeze the ground coconut nicely. You can use a clean cloth to strain the coconut milk. The milk extracted from this is called First milk, which will be thick. We call this onnam paal.
  • Add half cup warm water to the coconut and again grind this .
  • Squeeze this again and strain this in a strainer. This milk will be slightly thin. This is  called second milk, rendam paal.
  • Generally we discard the coconut after this,but if you want much thinner milk you can add 1/4 cup of water to this and squeeze the milk.

  • Coconut milk is ready. You can use this in biryani and some sweets too. We can add sugar to this and consume this as a side dish for Aapam and Idiyappam.

Notes:

  1. You can either grate the coconut or cut into pieces and grind along with warm water.
  2. Pieces of coconut will take little time to grind than grated coconut.
  3. Use luke warm water, not hot water.
  4. Do not use the open coconut left in the refrigerator. It will be dry and will not give milk.
  5. Just break the coconut and extract the milk.
