Dried coconut
Khopra
120 g1 whole copra ball
A typical whole dried coconut (copra ball) weighs ~120 g.
Instead of Dried coconut
Desiccated coconutUse equal weight; texture is much finer, so roast very cautiously over low heat if the recipe requires browning for spice pastes.
Fresh coconutFinely slice or grate and use 140% of the weight to offset the extra water, or dry-roast in a bare pan until moisture evaporates completely.
