You can get the packages of coconut milk powder that you mix with hot
water and make as much or as little as you want. It works for a lot of
Indian and Thai dishes that use coconut milk. Most of the dished I make
call for a cup of coconut milk. I hate wasting the canned stuff so I buy
envelops of powdered. I found it easier to deal with than the more
solid stuff that comes in blocks (wrapped).
