Coconut milk sub?

I don't suppose anyone has a magical substitute?

Or do i have to re-think what to make for dinner?

If you were making a curry, use chicken stock. different flavor,
different texture, etc, but it should work.

I always wonder when someone brings up a point about Bush, and you
then bring up something that Clinton did, are you saying they are both
wrong? Because that's all it points out to me, places where they both
messed up. It doesn't negate the fact that Bush did wrong; was that
your intention?

That type of argument is like

"Bob shot someone"

"Yeah, but don't you remember when Don hit that guy with a bat?"

Depends what you're making. If you're making curry, I'd just leave it
out and use broth or water instead.

serene

yeah, it's a curry.
I think I might make mole instead and serve it with the homemade naan anyway

Do you have sweetened, flaked baking coconut? I've simmered that along
with milk or water to get a similar flavor. Cut out any added
sweeteners, of course. You can leave the shreds in or strain them out.

One suggestion I've seen for an easy substitute is Evaporated Milk
plus Coconut Essence.

I presume you could use whatever sort of the milk grabs your fancy,
and add enough drops of the essence to get the taste you want.

I've done this, too (with milk). I let it cook down and then strain it
well.
