Preparing Your Own Coconut Milk Can Be A Lot Cheaper
~1.3 mins read
MENU: COCONUT MILK

RECIPE:
2 whole coconut

PROCEDURE:
* Wash the coconut nicely and break off the shell with a hammer. Once the coconut shell is broken open and transfer the coconut water in a bowl if there is any then set it aside.

* Next, use a knife to take the coconut out from the shell. (NOTE: You need a table knife that is not sharp to do this so you don't hurt yourself). 
 
* Next up, chop the coconut into smaller pieces to make the work easy for the blender.

* Give the coconut a quick rinse then transfer into a blender, add hot water and blend. (NOTE: The hot water added helps to extract enough coconut milk).

* Afterwards, transfer the blended coconut milk inside a nut bag, tie up the bag and squeeze out the coconut milk completely. (NOTE: You can also use a strainer to strain out the coconut milk too).

* Transfer the coconut milk in a jar and place inside the refrigerator.

                       NOTE
* The coconut chaff can be used for the following;
        * Coconut swallow
        * Coconut flakes
        * Coconut cookies
        * Coconut flour

The chaff is never ever a waste

This is a very versatile vegetable that can be eaten raw, roasted, baked, boiled or fried.

On its own, cauliflower is almost tasteless, this makes it a great choice to bulk up other types of food at very low calorie point.

You will find cauliflower where fresh ingredients like cabbage and green beans are sold.

Alternatively, you can show vegetable mallams the picture below; they will tell you where to buy it. It is a good source of Vitamin C and Potassium.

KITCHEN TIPS 

1. Never store Onions and Potatoes together because both produce a gas that causes either of them to spoil quickly.

2. Put two or three orange leaves in your hot palm oil on the fire. Let the leaves turn black before removing it. By then your palm oil becomes pure groundnut oil also giving your food a nice taste.

3. To avoid feeling a peppering hotness on your hands after cutting pepper with bare hand scrub your hand with salt and red oil then wash it.

4. If you happen to over salt a pot of soup, just drop in a peeled potato. The potato will absorb the excess salt.

5. If your Soup or Stew goes sour while warming it, add little piece of Charcoal and remove after warming, the taste will come back.

6. Never put citrus fruits (oranges, lemon, lime, etc) or tomatoes in the fridge. The low temperature degrades the aroma and flavor of these fruits.

7. When storing empty airtight containers, throw in a pinch of salt to keep them from getting stinky.

8. If your salt is becoming lumpy, put a few grains of rice in with it to absorb excess moisture.

9. To reuse cooking oil without tasting whatever was cooked in the oil previously, cook a 1/4" piece of ginger in the oil. It will remove any remaining flavors and odors.
