- Toast the grated coconut in a dry frypan over low heat. Stir frequently making sure it doesn't burn until it turns a golden brown in colour.
- When the colour is even throughout remove from frypan and put in mortar and pestle. Pound the toasted coconut until the oil comes out and it becomes a rich dark paste.
