Dry Coconut Powder | Nariyal Powder
Dry coconut powder is a finely ground form of coconut obtained by peeling, washing, and grinding coconut slices. It has a rich, nutty flavor with sweetness and is often used as a versatile ingredient in various dishes, such as curries, desserts, baked goods, beverages, and more
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut (cut into small pieces)
Instructions
- Take 1 cup of coconut slices.
- Peel the brown skin from the backside of each piece with a knife or a peeler.(Pro tip: Be very careful if you are using a knife for it. Or else, take a whole coconut, tap the shell with a hammer continuously to remove it, and peel the brown skin with a peeler from the whole coconut. Then break it and cut it into small pieces).
- Wash the slices of coconut thoroughly with water. Use a tissue to remove additional water from the pieces.
- Now take a clean grinder. Transfer the coconut slices from the plate to the grinder.(Pro tip: For better grinding, do not grind all of the coconut pieces together. It will be easier and better if you put half of them into the grinder at a time).
- Grind them to a fine powder and transfer it to a plate.
- Now, take a frying pan and heat it on a low flame on your gas stove. When it is hot enough put the ground coconut in it.(Pro tip: Make sure that the flame is low to prevent the powder from being burnt. This will eventually affect the taste and color of the dry coconut powder).
- Stir the coconut powder continuously until the excess water or moisture from it dries up completely.
- When you smell the lovely fragrance of dry coconut, transfer the powder to a plate and your dry coconut powder is eventually ready to be used.

Notes
- Freshness of the coconut slices is the key to achieve the rich flavor of dry coconut powder.
- Exercise extreme caution while peeling the brown skin with a knife.
- Remove impurities by washing the coconut slices thoroughly.
- I use a tissue to remove the excess water. This ensures a clean grind. You can do the same.
- Roast the slices on a low flame. Stir continuously to prevent burning and allow proper evaporation of the moisture from the slices.
- Cool the slices before grinding. I prefer grinding the coconut slices in batches. This ensures a smoother powder.
