nut/seed
Ground coconut
Nariyal
2 g1 teaspoon
6 g1 tablespoon
Desiccated ground coconut bulk density ~0.4 g/ml, so ~2.0 g per tsp.
Instead of Ground coconut
Desiccated coconutUse the same weight and grind finer; it is drier, so add 1–2 tbsp water if the recipe needs a wet paste.
Grated fresh coconutUse about 1.25 times the weight and blend to a paste; it is fresher and wetter, so reduce other liquid slightly.
Dried coconutUse the same weight, soak in warm water for 10 minutes, then grind; it is closer to fresh but still drier.
