Instead of Coconut

Fresh coconut
Use equal weight freshly grated or diced. Delivers the identical sweet, milky taste and juicy texture.
Desiccated coconut
Use 60% of the weight and soak in hot water or milk for 15 minutes before using. The finished dish will be slightly sweeter and less fibrous.
Dried coconut
Finely grate and use 50% of the weight, soaked in hot water for 20 minutes. Yields a firmer chew and a denser, oilier coconut aroma.
