Coconut milk is highly recommended for patients who are lactose intolerant. It also helps to increase good cholesterol and decrease bad cholesterol. It is also good for the heart.
Coconut milk can be included in your skin and hair care routine as well. This recipe from All Nigerian Recipes will show you how to make yours at home.
You will need:
- 1 coconut
- Hammer or any breaking tool
- Blender/Grater
- Knife
- Warm water
- Sieve with a fine mesh
- Plastic bowls
Procedure
- Break the coconut into pieces with a hammer and pry out the coconut meat from the shell.
- Wash the coconut meat and cut into tiny pieces.
- Place in a blender, add a small quantity of warm water (just enough to allow the blender blades to rotate freely) and grind into a smooth paste. You can also use a grater for this purpose. But a blender is more efficient.
- Pour the mixture of coconut milk and chaff into a sieve with tiny holes so that none of the chaff gets through.
- Use hands to squeeze out as much milk from the chaff as possible.
- If you feel that there is more milk in the chaff, place the chaff in a bowl and add more warm water.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 till the milk that comes out becomes too pale. Remember that the coconut milk will later be used in cooking the rice so if the water becomes too much, the rice will be overcooked. This is not what we want to add water sparingly.
This coconut milk recipe is healthier and more nutritious compared to the canned ones found at the supermarket.
