One thing that I find difficult to master is grating coconuts. There are many Indian dishes whose important ingredient is grated coconut. My mom could grate coconuts well but I find it quite difficult and it takes way too much time. Recently, I bought a coconut grater from the market but it cannot ease the process fully.
Do you like coconuts? If you know some easier way to grate coconuts, do care to share.
The grater that I bought looks the same as in the pic

Call me lazy but I am now using the canned coconut milk. I knows its cheating but they dont grow here. I use to grate coconuts when I was in the Philippines.

@Sojourn I know some coconut vendors, you can pay them to grate for you.

@CaptAlbertWhisker Nobody does that here, maybe they will if I pay them double the price

Sorry to hear this grater you bought does not help ..can you return for refund?
I found one very very expensive but of course I do not need it.
It is nice of you to try to help your Mother.

Coconut is not so popular here, I only bought it once. And of course, I had a problem opening it, but that's why we eat it regularly in cookies

@LowRiderX Yes, It has many uses in our cuisines. And I stab it open using large straight pincers.

@Sojourn There is also here to buy, not even expensive, but only Serbs do not use it as much as you use it there

I don't grate coconut but I would think the grater would help? Maybe you can watch a YouTube tutorial to see if they could better explain how to grate, or ask your mom her tips.

@Sojourn To an extent. I like coconut pastries, candies, food with coconut. But I don't like coconut water or eat coconut straight up.

We just buy grated coconut in the market. I just refrigerate the extra not to get spoiled. I buy it when I cook native chicken with chili and plenty spices.

I've never grated coconut. I buy it grated or shredded from the store.

This is how I grate my coconut
This is how the Filipinos grate coconuts in the Philippines before getting of the coconut milk out of it.

I enjoy sitting on an improvised coconut grater. I always get the task to grate the coconut when my wife needs a coconut milk for her cooking.

@Sojourn Nope. We borrow it from our neighbor.
