you can actually try the dry coconut flakes, its not the same however. what you can do is get a bit of coconut milk and soak the dry coconut flakes in it..when the flakes are soggy, prepare as the recipe instructs.
make sure the flakes aren’t too large. they have to be close to a powder. try indian stores and vietnamese stores if you want fresh frozen flakes
I had this last year during a holiday in Sri Lanka. It’s a lovely dish & we had it with Sri Lankan roti bread. I love this dish even though my girl friend found it bit hot. I’m not sure if I can get scraped coconut here in England, but I’ll give a go. Nice one !
