नारळाचे दूध, Coconut milk

• Grind the fresh, grated coconut in grinder.
• Press and strain the coconut to get the maximum white liquid.
  This would be the 'Thick Milk of Coconut' as it has no water. Spare it in a bowl.
• Re-grind the coconut and this time add a little amount of water in grinder.
• Again press and strain to get the maximum white liquid.
  This would be 'Semi-thick milk of coconut'. Spare it in another bowl.
• Repeat the process as many times as to get clear watery extract from the grated coconut.
  All these repetition will yield 'Thin milk of coconut'. Spare it differently.

This is how to make fresh homemade coconut milk. ☺

The thick coconut milk (1st extract) should not be boiled. It will curdle.

Thick milk contains soluble, suspended solids, so it makes excellent for making desserts and sauces. Because thin milk does not contain these soluble solids, it is mainly used in general cooking.

The semi-thick and thin milk of coconut (2nd & 3rd extracts) can be used in recipes and can be boiled. 

The remnant of the shredded coconut can be used in other recipes or in chatnis.
