creamed cocount

[sp]

I use half a sachet of the pataks creamed coconut (4 sachets in a pack if i recall) for one curry if that helps any?

Thanks very much to everyone for the tips, I'll be trying both the block and the Maggi!

Just as an aside, I took some dessicated coconut one day and threw it through my blender (in fairness it is a fairly powerful one).  A few minutes later I had turned it into coconut 'flour', which eventually hardened into a sort of coconut 'block'. I keep this in a bag and use as if it's the shop bought version.

Just in case you ever get stuck or get hold of cheap dessicated!

Regards to all,
