The following ingredients have 4 Servings

• 1 Cup Grated Coconut
• ½ Cup Warm Water

Instruction

• Take a fresh mature coconut and break it open. Collect the water in a glass and remove the white flesh with a knife. Then, grate it with a coconut grater or chop the coconut flesh finely and grind it in a mixer. I used 1 cup of grated coconut and 1/2 cup of warm water to get thick coconut milk.
• Transfer the grated coconut to a mixer jar.
• Pour 1/2 cup of water and blend till the coconut is ground well for a few minutes.
• The ground coconut paste should be fine.
• Pour the ground coconut paste in a bowl lined with a thin muslin cloth or a fine strainer. Press with a spoon on the coconut paste so that the milk is strained.
• Or else, gather the edges of the cloth and squeeze it well.
• The coconut milk separates now. This is the Thick coconut milk or the 1st extract.
• For 2nd coconut milk extract: put back the coconut shreds in the mixer again. Pour 1 to 1.5 cups water and grind it again. Then, strain the coconut paste in a different bowl using a strainer or muslin cloth. If preferred, you can go for 3rd coconut milk extract too.Use this Homemade Coconut Milk to prepare Chole Biryani.
