💰Cheaper: coconut milk

Shredded coconut is lower in fat, while coconut milk is more accessible.

lime juice

🥗Healthier: fresh lemon juice

Lemon juice offers a similar acidity, while vinegar is often less expensive.

Roast coconuts over an open flame to impart a smoky flavor and loosen the flesh from the shell.

Scrape off the charred bits from the coconuts.

Rinse the coconuts and then grate them.

Transfer the grated coconut to an Aura and sill (mortar and pestle).

Add garlic, Wiri peppers, and salt to the mortar and pestle.

Break down the mixture until it reaches a consistent texture.

Roll the mixture into balls for serving.
