Recipe Instructions:

Coconut Milk is Santen in Malaysia and Indonesia. Coconut Milk is Narial Ka Doodth in India. Best made from Fresh Coconuts. Grate the flesh of one Coconut into a bowl, pour on 2-2 1/2 c Boiling Water, then leave to stand 30 min. Squeeze The flesh and strain before using. This makes thick Coconut Milk, for a thinner Milk reuse the pulp and mix the result with the thick milk, or use by itself for an even thinner Coconut Milk. I use an old T-shirt to squeeze the Coconut flesh and strain in one operation. Made from Dried Coconut Put 1 Cup unsweetened Dried Coconut into a blender. Pour in about 1 1/4 Cups boiling water and blend on high speed for a couple of minutes. Let cool for about fifteen minutes then squeeze the pulp and strain. Makes about 1 Cup milk. To make a thinner Milk reuse the pulp.
