Hi Guys,
just wondering if anyone has ever frozen coconut milk out of a tin.
I regularly cook an Aubergine and Lentil curry that uses about 100ml of tinned coconut milk and end up throwing the rest away. I thought it may be possible to freeze it in the correct quantities in ice cube trays? This means I will only have to but a tin every 5 or 6 curries and it will always be readily measured out.
Yes I have always a supply in the freezer but put them in a bag once frozen so they don't taint, also they are great in a baileys & put a stick in a couple as they make a loverly ice lolley ;D

Hi Tempest,
I realise this is a REALLY old thread, but i'm searching for a Brinjal/Aubergine recipe, and the one you mention sounds good.
Would you post the recipe for me to try?
Regards
Matt
Here's one MadMatt
250g Aubergine (small eggplant) trimmed
pinch of asafoetida
4-5 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp chili powder
250ml ( 1 cup) coconut milk
salt to taste
cut aubergine into slices
Put asafoetida in a bowl and add 1 tbsp of water - stir until dissolved
Heat oil in a pan medium heat
Add aubergine, season with salt
Add turmeric, chili powder and asafoetida mixture and stir -fry for about 2 mins.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10 mins.
Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the coconut milk, then return to a low heat and simmer for 3-4 mins.
Adjust seasoning to taste.
best, Rich
