If you don’t get fresh coconut, you can follow the same recipe with dry coconut powder. One of the benefits leaving in Malaysia is that you get freshly grated coconut in any grocery store here, even in a store like Jusco, Tesco or cold storage. You don’t have to go to only Indian grocery store to buy coconut. Using grated coconut and coconut milk and in cooking is a very common practice here among local Indian as well.
