Using a whole coconut?
« on: December 04, 2011, 09:05:01 am »
I see the Beef madras in the Indian cookbook uses a whole coconut.  I couldnt be bothered with all that not to mention I wouldnt be able to get a fresh coconut here I dont think.

What could I use instead?  Any suggestions would be appreciated :)

DH often adds coconut milk to his currys.  You could try that but not sure how much you would need.  I would just add it until you get the consistency that you like.

You can buy frozen coconut flesh at Asian food stores.
I child-proofed my house, but they still get in!

Gosh, yes, I'd forgotten you can make it in the TM.  Must do that as DH gets through so much of the stuff  :)
