Coconut milk for cooking

Coconut milk is regularly used in cooking curry chicken, beef rendang and curry fish. I do eat them when I buy take away. But at home I do not use coconut milk when cooking curries as they are not very healthy. But using coconut milk do gives fragrance and thickens the curry. I think once in a while is okay but often is not good for eating.

i love my dad's fish in coconut milk dish that he made. it is easy to prapare.. you can use a white flesh fish for better taste like tilapia, tuna, or lapu lapu. then u wrap it in a banana leaves. put it in a pot along with coconut milk, vinegar and some ginger to kill the fishy taste of fish. let it simmer for few minutes. wait til the fish is cook then pinch some salt and pepper to taste and its ready to eat! bon appetit! :D

I use coconut milk regualarly in soups especially. What you have to do is to add the milk at the end when the soup is ready to be served and let it heat through for a few minutes. I love it in rice too. I have never used in any form whilst preparing vegetables though. I don't have any recipes for that. I do hope that many Mylot readers will help you firther than my effore!

You can use it as a substitute for your liquid ingredient in most recipes, however, you will want to experiment with it before you serve it to family and friends. I had to stop using coconut in general. :( I am allergic, but I have lots of great ways to use it. If you like to make coconut cream pie, you can use the milk/juice to help give a bolder flavor in the filling. As mentioned it is great in flavoring fish. There is a wonderful recipe online for coconut chicken where it calls for the milk/juice. You will be amazed at how many ways you can use the coconut milk/juice. Lots of fun to you!

I love cooking with a coconut milk because it makes the food tastier. Same with others, I use this in curry and other recipes for chicken, beef and pork. I use it also in making some desserts.
