Coconut Milk (Narial Ka Doodh)

Coconut has a sweet taste, which has been used in many recipes for cooking and baking for years. It was first used by the Indians in unique and delectable recipes.

Coconut milk is not to be confused with coconut water which is the liquid inside a coconut. The milk is used for many different recipes and has even been used to make soaps. You can make your own coconut milk by boiling a coconut with water and after sitting one hour straining it through cheesecloth. Throw away the pulp. The milk is very high in saturated coconut oil and the lauric acid found in coconut milk is like what is found in mother’s breast milk. Everyone knows this is very good for the body. This is used mainly in Asian and Indian dishes. Here are a few:

• Thai curry
• Glass noodle Soup
