1. Not Shaking It

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.

2. Using A Low-Quality Brand

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

3. Adding It Too Early

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.

4. Incorrect Storage

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.

5. Ignoring Its Fat Content

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.
