Desiccated coconut is
a dried grated coconut or powdered coconut. We can use this in cookies, curries
etc…This is easy to make at home, especially in India where you can get
coconuts easily in the markets.
Ingredients:
Shredded Coconut or Fresh Coconut
|
1 Cup or 1
|
Procedure:
1. First is to get
Shredded Coconut. Take fresh coconut and
open into half at its center. Use the coconut grater to grate the coconut or
shred into small pieces.
2. Arrange the thin
layer of the grated coconut on the baking tray. Ensure that it is widely spread
and does not form clumps.
3. Preheat the oven
at 200o C. Now keep the tray in the oven and bake for 12 minutes at
minimum temperature (110 celsius).
4. Take it out from
the oven and allow it to cool down. You can use at this stage itself or powder it and use. If the powder is moist, then
bake it again for 2 more minutes.
Now the Desiccated
Coconut is ready to use. Store it in airtight container or zip-locked cover.
