    Preparation Time : 10 mins
    Makes : 1 cup of Thick coconut Milk & 1.5 cup of Thin Coconut Milk


    Ingredients:

    Freshly Grated Coconut - 2 cups
    Water - 1.5 cup

    Method:

    Take a good blender, add the coconut in it and blend them. Add in ½ cup of water slowly so it gets blended properly and finely.

    Now pour this coconut mixture through a sieve. Press it with a spoon so the coconut milk gets collected in  a bowl.Press hard to extract as much milk as possible. This is the first coconut milk which is thick and creamier.

    Now add the remaining coconut pulp in the blender and add in 1 cup of water and blend again.

    Pass this through a sieve again and let it strain. Press to remove as much milk as possible. This is the second coconut milk which is little thin.

    You can stop at this point or go ahead and extract third coconut milk if needed.

    Use this in your favorite recipes..
