How to make coconut milk from scratch step-by-step easy recipe with photos.
Coconut is an integral part of every south Indian kitchen. It is used in most of our cooking either ground with spices to make a curry base or as a garnish over a finished dish. Coconut milk is used to make desserts like payasa and aamras.
Coconut milk is a great dairy-free alternative and is very easy to extract at home. This easy to make vegan milk lends a unique flavour and creaminess to any dish. I usually make two extracts from it but you can choose to make a third extract which is very thin and runny. The remaining pulp after extracting the coconut can be dried in an oven or dehydrator and can be used as desiccated coconut.
