Step: 6/6

Remove into a bowl and garnish with fresh coconut.

Tip:
Grate a whole coconut and freeze it in an ice tray. Remove each of the cubes and save in a resealable bag in the freezer. This gives you instant access to fresh grated coconut for recipes such as this one.

You can also use frozen chopped spinach for the recipe.
