About the coconut milk, the first milk is easy to make only if the coconut is freshly broken ,grated and squeezed. you need to blend it a bit, before you squeeze. Otherwise, you can add some water, blend and squeeze. The essence of the first milk will be stronger than the following ones. Hope this helps you in your consequent attempts.Sukanya Yogeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11001661780867333803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6080651806118192403.post-37377846059722615932012-01-05T09:13:13.390+08:002012-01-05T09:13:13.390+08:00@ Anu - Happy New year to you too Anu.@ Anu - Happy New year to you too Anu.Sukanya Yogeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11001661780867333803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6080651806118192403.post-7449709233402094412012-01-05T01:52:58.594+08:002012-01-05T01:52:58.594+08:00Hi Sukanya, believe me or not I just tried this to...Hi Sukanya, believe me or not I just tried this today and we all loved it so much. Actually I have been wanting to prepare olan for a long time now. My grandmother used to make it and I have not had it since then. Fortunately I had all the ingredients at home. Actually I also had soaked black eyed peas for making sundal. How cool was it? So I prepared the coconut milk as you have mentioned and did the olan. This is the first time I'm making coconut milk at home, so I couldn't get the first milk without adding any water. I don't know if there is any specific techinque to do that. So I did add some water even the first time, extracted some milk and for the 2nd time I added the 1 cup water and got a thinner milk. Other than that no issues and the dish tasted so good. Thanks for the recipe.egglesscookinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14666093645204039557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6080651806118192403.post-49166317891756764282012-01-05T00:57:16.917+08:002012-01-05T00:57:16.917+08:00WOW!! olan looks great
