Keralites in Dubai

Hi my friends,
Nammude kochu keralithil ninnu ethra ILs UAE residents aanu?y dont we share our experiences in UAE?
coconut prices are soaring.And for us Keralites its such an inevitable ingredient in our curries.I tried using coconut powder ,but the taste is so different.Thankfully i had some semi dry cocnuts, which we call Kotta thenga, which after soaking in water for some time,can be used as fresh ones...you can easily scrape it.If you dont have a scraper just cut into pieces and grind it...got any more suggestion?


Thanx Sumitha

OOPS !!!

Ennekkum ethe problem onndayettundu. Evede Malaysia-yil thenga kittum pakshe cant scrape it. Ente preethi mixie is an angel :) I also cant use coconut pdr.. it just wont dissolve...also leaves some tiny grains in it.

hi friends
same problem for me also, but still i use the dry coconut powder only. Only for puttu i use fresh coconut.here the price is some 4 to 5 riyal per coconut, in indian rupees it will be 50.i feel it is too much. for coconut milk also i am using the powder only
