I usually make sweetened coconut milk ( with sugar) for idiyappam as served in restaurants.I make coconut milk with jaggery only for vendhaya dosai.When i was talking to my friend Shalini , she told me about this milk . She told it tastes great for idiyappam and also there is no need to extract coconut milk.So this milk is less in calories too.But it tastes more like coconut milk .Also it takes lesser time to prepare than extracting coconut milk. What else i need to try this recipe. I tried on the same day for breakfast.It was superb. Sen loved it a lot. Thank u so much dear , i have got a tasty sweet accompaniment for idiyappam and appam other than the usual coconut milk.Friends , do try this milk for a change. U’ll make it often.
