Coconut Grating Activity



All in a day's work in a Malayalee household!

Walk into a house in the morning and you'll most likely hear the sound of coconut grating coming from the kitchen or work area. Well, this is one task which Malayaliees are very familiar. 

Coconut is used in different ways in our recipes - grated ones used in avial or thoram, coconut milk is used in appam  and coconut bits in beef ularthiyathu. Yes, it's an unavoidable part of malayalee's diet. 

These days most homemaker find it easy to buy grated coconut from super markets or store grated coconut in freezer.

In our house, we usually grate couple of coconut in one go so that it can last a week or more. 

What about you? Do you grate as per use or buy grated coconut? Why do you think our recipes have so much of coconut?
