Coconut Powder

A powder made from desiccated (dried) coconut. The powdered product usually contains maltodextrins and sometimes salt. The powder can be used for making desserts or added to curries or chutney. Look for coconut powder in stores that carry Indian foods. Delia Smith of Delia Online suggests keeping it on hand as a pantry staple and states it works well for making Thai fish cakes.
