Notes:

  • Always cook on low heat. Do not cook for a long time as the texture can change.
  • Try and use only semi-ripe coconut. If you can’t get your hands on some and are using a ripe coconut, add a tbsp. or two of water to add to the moisture.

  1. Can u post a receipe on neureos . I tried many of your recipes and they have turned out brilliant. In fact the aroma that surrounds the kitchen is wonder full and I have neighbors across the garden asking what’s cooking… Something smells good. Thank you… Have a festive wonder season.

    • You are too kind Stanley. We try to be as accurate and true as possible with our recipes. We’ve not yet posted neureos as we both work full time and try to post whenever we have the time. Thus we started with the uncommon ones first. We’ll try and post soon.
