The fresh version wins hands down in whatever you use it for. That looks like hard work but kudos to you for squeezing out REAL coconut milk.

Karen - I have a kratai, but I've got to cut the occasional corner. Nick – I’m glad that it worked out for you.

I hadn't planned to, but I saw a coconut in the supermarket. The hammer-smashing bit was easier and more fun than I expected. The skin removal part was harder and less fun than I expected. The end result was fairly watery, next time I'll start with 1 cup of water and add more if necessary. I put it in a lamb curry and it was very nice! I just tried this.

The job included the back breaking work of having to crack the coconuts and extract the pulp. I think he's happy as an architect now. incidentally Hock and I recently met David with Austin, and I told him a story about a friend of mine from NZ who was at the time an unemployed architect and used to work as his dishwasher at his old restaurant in Kings Cross.
