Frozen right? There are plenty of good frozen ones but fresh was what I was talking about.

Was reading about the coconuts. In Coles you get a blue packet of shredded coconut( not desicated).. A friend of mine told me about it as i was so lost without having coconuts on hand. Try it. It’s awesome and tasty too. I use that for all my cooking purposes now. It dsnt give that after taste like the desicated one.
It’s the Coles brand itself. Give a try and let me know. Hassle free.

Sure, that sounds like a plan. Enjoy your time here….

Sry for replying so late…my lil one was dwn with fever 🙁
We stay in Box hill..wud love to meet u!! Hopefully someday when we plan a visit to dandenong I will inform u beforehand nd we cud meet up!!or nytime u cum dwn to our place do make a visit!! Cheers to new beginnings!! 🙂

Mallus form the least number in terms of demographics here so dont expect the Dubai feel….life and people are extremely different. Which part of Melbourne are you placed in and are you working? We live in Dandenong….do come home sometime; would love to meet your 10 month old. Getting back to coconuts, I buy the fresh ones, grate and freeze it to use whenever I want. And next time I go to Kerala, will bring the table top grinder which has the grater attachment; it will be easier after that.

Thanks for replying!! So that means we do get whole coconuts but comes with it the hassle of breaking nd grating…but still worth a try once in a while when ur taste buds crave for something authentic!!
Yea me too!! Been in dxb for long..After we came dwn here I was telling mum that nothing compares to all those keralite stuff we get in dxb…its more like a “posh kerala”…lol…tats hw I put it across to her..
But tats just bt te keralite stuff…nothing beats the produce here….its beautiful, fresh nd Yum!! U get all the goodness from all te world’s to make those yummy recipes for which u wud have to go like “Ohh man…Spinneys etc!” I am starting to settle dwn nd with these scrumptious recipes in ur blog, I am all set to start my cooking journey..Just one thing that might reduce te pace is a lil 10 month old beside me!! 🙂

Hi Indie, welcome to Melb. Dubai is home for me too because that’s where I lived for the first 14 years of my life. Freshly grated coconut (I know u get it in Dubai) is not available here so u have to grate it yourself or get the frozen ones. Yup, it was hard for me to accept that. And I didnt add yellow cucumber because it’s not available most of the time…not the Kerala variety. You get other varieties though or again go for frozen. Which part of Melb are u in? Queen Victoria, Dandenong market and the vegetable shop inside Dandenong plaza does a good job with many native Indian veggies.
