Instead of Grated desiccated coconut
Desiccated coconutUse 1:1 by weight; yields identical flavour and moisture absorption in gravies or spice pastes.
Fresh coconutUse 120% of the weight, finely grated; provides a sweeter, fresher aroma and slightly higher natural moisture.
Dried coconutUse equal weight; grate finely or soak in warm water for 15 minutes before blending into masalas.
