Fresh grated coconut    1 Cup      Warm water   1 cup       

Break the coconut just before you want to make the coconut milk. Grate the coconut, if possible carefully grate only the white part of the coconut. Take 1 cup of grated coconut and put it in a mixie. Add 1/2 cup of warm water to this and  grind smoothly.

Strain the liquid in a fine strainer and squeeze the ground coconut nicely. You can use a clean cloth to strain the coconut milk. The milk extracted from this is called First milk, which will be thick. We call this onnam paal. Add half cup warm water to the coconut and again grind this . Squeeze this again and strain this in a strainer. This milk will be slightly thin. This is  called second milk, rendam paal. Generally we discard the coconut after this,but if you want much thinner milk you can add 1/4 cup of water to this and squeeze the milk.

Coconut milk is ready. You can use this in biryani and some sweets too. We can add sugar to this and consume this as a side dish for Aapam and Idiyappam.
