NOTES
- It would be better to use Coconut Milk Powder Or Coconut Milk Cream to make the coconut milk. If you are using freshly squeezed coconut milk, there are chances the coconut milk to curdle.
- Add little water into the 'Coconut Milk Powder Or Coconut Milk Cream' to make 'Onnam paal' or 'Thick Coconut Milk' and add more water to make the 'Randaam Paal' or 'Medium thick Coconut Milk'.
