Step 3: Use a coconut mill or grinder, grater or a blender to finely grate the nut inside the shell of the coconut . ( You will need to add a bit of water if using blender only ).

Step 4: Get a muslin cloth/ cheesecloth/ even a fine strainer to squeeze the milk out of the grated coconut.

Step 5: Keep the coconut milk overnight for 12 hours. ( Not compulsory )

Step 6: If coconut milk was kept overnight then separate the fat from the milk and boil it on a rounded bowl until you find some brown particles sedimented on the bowl while the oil is on top. Or else if coconut milk not kept overnight then immediately boil it until brown particles sedimented while the oil is on top.

Step 7: Separate the brown crispy coconut particles from the oil ( or even vice-versa )
