How to make Coconut milk at Home?

Why Coconut Milk?

There are many benefits of coconut milk. We think that coconut milk contains cholesterol. But many studies have proved that raw coconut does not contain cholesterol. Coconut will turn into cholesterol when we cook it. So, if you want to avoid cholesterol from coconut, never cook it. If you are using it in a curry or soup, first cook the curry and then add it. Due to this, there will be no cholesterol in your food.

Choose the right Coconut!

To make coconut milk at home, you need to choose the right one. By green coconuts, milk cannot be made. The one which is brown in color should be taken. It has a white fleshy pulp, that should be used to make fresh coconut water.

How to make Coconut Milk at home?

• To make coconut milk, take fresh coconut.
• Remove the brown layer (if you wish).
• Chop it into small pieces.
• Take a blender, and add 1 cup of freshly chopped coconut and 2 cups of water. Blend them together and make a fine paste.
• Now strain the coconut paste with the help of a soft and thin cloth.
• Squeeze it to get fresh and thick coconut milk.
