In fact, I’m having a very hard time concentrating on food styling especially after a long hiatus. Returning after a break does that to me.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Shockingly, coconut has that effect on me too. It takes me back to memories of childhood, where freshly grated coconut played an important role. And with all those memories rushing over, it doesn’t come as a surprise why styling this recipe became strenuous.<\/p>\n

\"Homemade<\/a>
\nBefore moving to the States, I’ve never heard of coconut milk in cans. We were spoilt with choices back home with freshly grated coconuts. My job was to make a run to the local grocery store, purchase freshly grated coconut and make a dash back home ASAP so that mom can continue what she does best with it — making curries!<\/p>\n

\"Homemade<\/a>
\nBack then, there were no fancy gadgets — just a huge bowl, muslin cloth and mom’s gentle and strong hands. A little hot water is the trick to get as much liquid gold out of the grated coconut.<\/p>\n
