Coconut milk is a versatile ingredient that adds richness and sweetness to dishes, but using it correctly is key to enhancing flavours. Here are some mistakes to avoid:

Coconut milk often separates into cream and liquid. If you're using it from a can, shake or stir well for a smooth, even texture in your dish.

If you're not making coconut milk yourself, buy one from a reliable brand. Low-quality coconut milk may contain additives or lack flavour.

Adding coconut milk too soon in cooking can make it curdle. Add it near the end of the process to maintain its creamy, rich flavour.

If you have leftover coconut milk, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Avoid keeping it in the can to prevent any metallic taste.

Coconut milk is high in fat, so use it in moderation if you're watching weight. Opt for light coconut milk in dishes that don't need creaminess.
