  2. My mother would roast desiccated coconut and paste the coconut and use the full pulp for the gravy. Can this be done with your recipe. Please help a little confused. Thanks in advance.

    1. Hi Joaquim

      Yes , you can roast freshly grated coconut (no idea on desiccated coconut ).But make sure to grind it very finely.
