Toasted Coconut Paste Overview:

Toasted coconut paste is a condiment widely used in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore's households. Toasted coconut paste is also known as "coconut butter" because when the toasted coconut is pounded in a mortar, the oil is released and turned into an oily paste that resembles coconut butter. Before machinery to produce toasted coconut paste was invented, the older generations would make it homemade. It is not cooking but instead prep work, which is more uncomplicated than cooking.
Just a few simple steps are required to make a perfect toasted coconut paste that gives a nutty flavor to it. Firstly, the old coconut will be used to grate; the secret to a more oily toasted coconut paste is choosing an old coconut as it has more oil. Next, fry the freshly ground coconut until it turns brown. Be careful not to overcook it! This is where the name 'toasted coconut paste' came from, as it is fried into a brown color. Hold on! That is not the last step yet. In order to turn the toasted coconut into a paste form, it must be pestled in a mortar until it turns into a shiny and oily texture. There you go, a homemade toasted coconut paste is ready to be served. Perhaps, the most challenging part of making a homemade toasted coconut paste is ensuring the fried coconut does not fly away from the mortar; and, of course, the aching arm of pounding the coconut for as long as the oil has yet to appear. 
Sure, there are only minimal steps to produce a nutty aromatic toasted coconut paste, but it sounds like pounding them will take forever; because it really is. Don't worry; G&M Coconut has got you covered! With more than 20 years of doing business for coconut products, G&M Coconut Industry Sdn Bhd runs a factory to manufacture a lot of toasted coconut paste for you. What does G&M Toasted Coconut Paste have in common with the homemade one? Rest assured, G&M Toasted Coconut Paste is not made with leftover coconut from making coconut milk, contrary to the practice of the majority of producers. The company is aware that that practice will leave the toasted coconut paste with a bland aftertaste. G&M Coconut does not incorporate additives in its manufacturing as well as only uses fresh coconut. With the original taste of toasted coconut paste, everyone can now cook the delightful thickened curry dish independently.
