Answer 3

Coconut is really nice,I love it .

I find that it's better to make you own milk but the pre made cans work well and save a lot of time (prep your creme to be use an other day it's really handy).

Curry with coconut is a great idea.Here's a recipe:

Answer 4

This is most likely Thai influenced:

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup coconut milk

1 teaspoon sugar

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon curry paste or powder

1 teaspoon oyster sauce

PREPARATION:

In a small saucepan, bring the coconut milk to a boil. Stir in the remaining ingredients and simmer for 5 minutes, until the  the mixture is thickened. Serve hot, or cool and store in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Re-heat before reusing. Yields about 1 cup.

Answer 5

I don't know about that specific mixture, but a good base for chinese-style coconut sauce is to mix coconut milk with vinegar, add some honey and cornstarch, and then your spice of choice :)

I usually do it with chili-flakes, but it should probably go very well with curry as well.
