Vahee, what's a coconut milk powder?

Raj

You can find coconut milk powder in Indian stores, Raj...

It is the dry from of coconut milk; same as to milk powder from milk.

carrot soup...

1 carrot
1 tomato
1 garlic
1 spoon butter
2 spoons of mixed nuts powder

cut all these into pieces saute in the butter nicely... keep it in the pressure cooker and give 3-4 whistle... when it cools grind it in the mixie... add nuts powder and allow it to boil for some time add pepper and salt to taste..... it will be yummy... she has is separately and even with white rice also....

btw...
instead of carrot u can replace any veggie but only one veggie so that it tastes good...

If you get fresh coconuts you may as well make fresh coconut milk I guess instead of the dessicated stuff.

HI asha

i made it myself... equal amount of cashew, badam and pista... slightly kept on the dosa tawa which is hot... i grinded it in the mixie and stored...

i used to add to most of the foods she has... like dosai, aapam, chappati, soups etc... coz she dont eat nuts...

(nuts powder idea was given by latha)

Thank you shvap_786

Thanks Oviya and Vanathi. I do use coconut milk in some of my recipes, but they come out of a can. I guess I can try using fresh shredded coconut for Riya.
