fruit
Fresh coconut
Taaza Nariyal
2 g1 teaspoon
6 g1 tablespoon
350 g1 whole coconut (edible meat)
Fresh grated coconut is ~2.0 g/tsp; a medium mature coconut yields ~350 g flesh.
Instead of Fresh coconut
Desiccated coconutUse 50% to 60% of the weight, soaked in equal parts warm water for 15 minutes before grinding. Works well for chutneys, though texture is slightly finer and sweeter.
Coconut milkUse 1.2 times the weight in curries. Adds creamy richness and authentic flavour, but makes gravies smoother and eliminates the grated, chewy mouthfeel.
