 Coconut milk (nohm gkati in Thai) is a key ingredient in Thai cooking. Coconut milk is not the water of a coconut but rather it is white creamy liquid derived from finely grated and pressed coconut meat.Rich Mae Ploy brand canned coconut milk has a crackable layer of coconut cream in cool weather (or refrigerate to seperate out the cream from the milk). Mae Ploy brand is a little thicker than Chao Koh brand coconut milk and can be diluted with water if a thinner consistency is desired.
