How to make coconut milk :

Don’t worry if you don’t have a store bought coconut milk. You can always make them at home. All you need is some coconut and a blender or food processor.


  • Break open the coconut and drain the water separately. (We don’t need this water).
  • Make small pieces of the coconut pulp (the white coloured portion is the pulp) with a help of a knife.
  • Make small cubes so that its easy to grind them.
  • Transfer the pieces to the blender jar and blend them as such till they become soft and powdery.
  • Add 2 cups of water and blend them well till they’re blended together as one like milk.
  • Strain this milk using a muslin cloth or a stainer into a separate bowl.

NOTE : 

You may also substitute some of the coconut milk for water, depending on your sweetness requirement.
