- How to grate a Coconut quick and easy | Best way to grate coconut - Beginners guide
These are some snippets from a conversation between myself & a food scientist @goodnessfarm-mj
I highly appreciate the way you have parsteamed it and grated..
Par steaming the coconut before grating helps avoid microbial contamination
Coconuts are highly susceptible to contaminants like harmful bacteria such as Salmonella or E. coli, which can cause foodborne illness and molds and fungus.. that's why even Gobrai was banned recently in many countries..
Steaming the coconut before grating it can help kill any bacteria that may be present on the surface of the coconut, thus reducing the risk of contamination. Apart from it steaming also helps to soften the coconut, making it easier to grate.

Here is the quick summary
1. Break the coconut , remove the water
2. Keep it in freezer for 24 hrs (Best results) if you are in rush then 12 hrs
3. Take out after 24 hrs
option a = wait for 10 mins and add in hot rolling boil water
option b = immerse immediatly in hot water
4. Refer the video for pointers to observe
5. You can easily now remove with the knife and ladle - tips are given in the video
6. After removing , peel the outer brown skin if you dont want to use. its quite easy
7. Chop & Grate options are discussed in the video for Ninja
For chop - use Chop option for 3 mins
For grate - Chop 3mins, followed by IQ manual - speed 4 for 3 mins
The quantity here is 1.5 coconuts to 3 coconuts
8. For mixie - do pulse for 4 times and grind in only speed no. 1

Welcome 😊
Tried and got the best results...looks like the quantity is more than what we get in the normal process...definitely a savior for ppl running behind time👍
Super Gayatri, glad to know.. yes the yield looks higher if we grind this way as there are more airspaces and not compressed . It makes scooping easy when we take out
Hi! Tried this method and got grated coconut easily. Thank you

Excellent tip and it worked like a charm for me..Thank you so much..❤❤ - Sowmya

Thank you Mathi
Hi, i tried this method and works out very well. It helps us in my daily life. Thank you so much.
awesome tip ka used this hack, before seeing your video I felt more difficult to store the coconut, after seeing your video am following this tip to grate and store coconut

I followed this storing process of thengai as per video, it is very useful the main part is putting in hot water and removing the shell..the taste is same no difference, thank you akka😊
One awesome hack for busy mornings.. It's been a week.. Still it's fresh and smells fresh.. I love grated coconut in all veggies stir fry.. And now it's so easy to use.. Thank you akka❤
Welcome dear
Thank you@ nees kitchen.
Very very easy technique for grating.
More comfortable than the manual grating ..
Time saving..
And also the final output is more than the manual grating..
Spending ten minutes will give us yield for two months.
Thank you neeru mam
Most welcome 😊
Before throwing negative comments pls understand that I am not boiling coconut here , I am parsteaming it which cuts the microbial contamination. Pls note that coconuts are prone to microbial contamination and I don’t live in a place where coconuts are grown & it requires multiple rounds of travel before it reaches my kitchen
Can we just not compare a kitchen in a place where there are coconut trees to a kitchen which needs coconuts to be imported
More in description of this video..
Ppl who are questioning on nutrient loss wonder why never questions the same coconut nutrient loss when cooked in some recipes 😀 + trying to figure out where am I boiling here 😅
Thank you so much Neeru akka!! Really it’s time saving and very easy to make shredded coconut just using our Indian mixer… Thank you so much for your useful tips 🙏🙏
My pleasure 😊
Really useful mam...I tried it today in ninja as exactly what you said in this video, it came as it is...very useful for my partial meal prep...thank you for the simple but useful method mam...it saves so much energy and time🙏
This method is very easy than grinder attachment
Yes, you are right😀
I am not beginner but always good to learn new techniques. I have always grated in the thenga thiruvi before freezing. But this method is easy and no mess. Also learnt that par steaming helps remove contamination .
Thank you Neeru for this useful tip.
Thank you Sashi 🥰
Very useful tip for people living outside India and don't have a traditional grater.
very useful thank u for sharing
Thank you
I grated coconut today following the video and It turned out awesome..the quantity is much better than chopping the pieces and put in mixer.
Thank you
I tried it tdy … we living away from India nd every month I must get to break one coconut on amavasai even though we don’t use it much I keep it in freezer as pieces and as grated In box. This is very useful for me … 100 percent useful hack …. 👍🏼
Thank you dear
Super easy method... And getti chutney easy ah white ah pannalam.. Thank you @neeru akka for sharing such easy tips for new moms like me...
Thanks for the detailed explanation
You're welcome
Neatly and clearly explained and shown as is always seen in all your and Mami's posts/videos. 👍🏻
I have noticed this working best for coconuts that are not very old ( the ones that are a shade or two darker in exterior colour take a little more effort ) which arw wheatish in colour like how you have shown. The brown skin in bewteen the shell and the coconut flesh too would be lighter in such coconuts.
I don't do the partial steaming part. I keep it in the freezer overnight+, take it out and rest it for sometime/ maybe even just immerse it in drinking water for 10-15 mins and try to remove the coconut flesh. The ease and beauty of this procedure though works best only for such shown light brown skin coconut which are hard to find in cities in India. Even our own well known chennai city pazhamudhir shops, Saravana, Surya greens, kalpavriksha etx only sell the darker than wheatish shell ones.
Most of the time I buy one, cleanup break, scrape using the hand held scraper and store it in an airtight container. One container / packet per coconut as of there is some issue which a specific coconut the rest if any don't get contaminated. When kept in freezer, I have stored it even upto 6-8 months with no spoilage. As you rightly mentioned how long and how as such we thaw it and take care of a batch has full effect on the product we plan to store and use / it's shelflife.
I am not sure on India
Here we get coconuts from Malaysia which different in shape itself and the yield is more as compared to india ones for the cost we pay. It’s also because of the logistics cost
@@NeesKitchen thank you for the reply. Yes, I noticed the difference in look and hence had replied earlier. Yes, the yield looks more and also quite good.
I wholeheartedly appreciate the effort and work that you put in to ensure no stone is unturned ( even when it comes to the simplest of things that people take for granted but which is important for newbies or even a pain point for the seasoned home cooks ). When people watch videos being just engrossed in it and wanting more sometimes they forget there are one or more humans behind it who have put in a lot of thought, planning, execution ( I am putting it a few words but it is not that at all ), all through also being a part of the family of any size with its own commitments, health etc. When you see the behind the scenes pics and videos one comes back to reality and realizes it at least to some extent. I can't appreciate you and Mami enough. 🙏🏻👍🏻
Good presentation,one suggestion,better to keep in different small containers..
Yes we can if we have the energy to clean them all 😃
We can also store them in a ziplock pouch by spreading it out. Then, there won't be any struggle with getting it out on multiple occasions..
Yes but it pokes the cover at times
Wow , excellent idea
Thank you! 😊
Super sister tanks
Super
This process la coconut will cook la, is it healthy version
super 👌👌👌👌
Thank you
Hi useful mam
Thanks a lot
Very super sis❤❤
small coconut grating machine available for Rs. 1500/- app. is gettable in markets.
while buying the machine please check whether it comes with a plastic body, to avoid any electric related shocks.
if machine body is metal kindly ensure the proper earthing before operating.
thanks.
@nees kitchen Could you pleas give me that ninja machine link !??
Pls check in my Instagram as there are coupon code details available there
Think it’s better to just grate it and store, Bcos, boiling the coconut, destroys its good properties.
I am not boiling , I parsteamed it.. which cuts the microbial contamination
Already mentioned in video as wait for 10 mins if needed
Arachuvitta sambar la nutrients pogumae as per the same logic 😂
True that- arachu vitta sambar la nutrients pogum thaan .
But this grated one- is for storing and using in various dishes that don’t need cooking too, right🤔
Anyways- nothing to take away from your blogging and tips- keep them coming ….
I just added more in description, it should help you dear 🥰
As mentioned in video , we don’t use much coconut in cooking as we don’t like that taste much , so for our family this itself comes to long and not many dishes la I use..
Dear Neeru tried this & must confess this is semma useful. Thank you for sharing such tips. 😍
Thanks Dheepa ❤
Do you keep glass bottle or glassware in the freezer? Its ok or not please reply
Not tried
Already we have seen this in another channel😊
Oh in Ninja foodie power blender is it.. product market kku vandhe few months thaan aagudhu so wondering adhukullayaanu 🤣🤣.. idhu theriyaama I got as a requirement 😀.. affiliate tag Vera potturken 😉
Then I am also wondering why I got sooooo many q&a from my Instagram 😃😃, you should have told them all this na , I am not that popular also
I can only tell what I am following and it’s simple science 🙃
Idly idly thaan the way you teach for beginners matters hope except the first idly video rest all you went and put the same comment like this 😀😀😀 Appo thaane konjam fun kidaikkum
@@NeesKitchenI remember my MIL sharing this procedure without the steaming part as a video that was doing rounds on WhatsApp some 4-5 years back. Even in that the coconut shell was wheatish in colour and hence the process was smoother. I remember even telling her that the coconut ls we get in the market in cities don't look this way and nor do they look round, it is mostly oval dark and small.
I am sure the comment to which you have replied only mentioned the reference to the basic process followed ( break, freeze, try to nudge the coconut flesh out, peel and pulse grind ) being already seen elsewhere.
Is it ninja blender model pls
i gave in description :)
This is more complex.. Thengava udachoma. Tiruvinoma...
priveleged with
Time
to eat one full coconut at one go without storing
most importantly access to fresh coconut from farm..
