Homemade Sur / Coconut Toddy

Homemade Sur / Coconut Toddy

Whenever we visit Goa, we always bring home some stock of coconuts (besides other stuff 🙂 from there. Once we are back home we break open the coconuts and save the coconut water. Hubby dear grates the coconuts and we freeze the grated coconut in small packets for later use. We use the coconut water to make Homemade Sur / Coconut Toddy. This toddy can be used to make sannas (Goan Rice Dumplings/Bread – see here)
