  • Dear Lissie,

    We just get one type of coconut milk in South Africa.... So...

    1. How do I know if that is thick or thin?

    2. If that is thin, what can I do for the the thick coconut milk?

    3. If that is thick, how do I make it thin?

    Thanks,

    Aseem

  • Hi Aseem,
    The type of coconut milk commercially available is always thick. You can add the desired amount of water to make thin coconut milk.
