I have left over coconut milk

Yesterday I made a curry and now I have approximately 30mil of coconut milk left over. It has to be used by tomorrow. Any ideas?

Would rather something savoury and don't really want to do another curry.

TIA

YY to freezing.

It means you don't have to think about it just now Grin

Use it to make a marinade for meat, it works best with pork or chicken. Put a bit of oil in with it, seasoning and spices of your choice (can do a jerk, thai or indian inspired marinade). Put in the freezer. The marinade will do it's thing while you defrost the meat.

Thanks all, they all sound yummy. I have stuck it in the freezer. I particularly like the idea of the soup.

I used some leftover coconut milk to make porridge the other day, with chopped mango - it was great.

just saw the soup thread - or add it to roast butternut squash or sweet potato, with chilli and a squirt of lime, whizz it up, amazing soup!

Freeze it and use it later, or freeze it then whip it up with some banana and vanilla for a sort of coconut slush thing.

I rarely use a full tin in a curry though and tend to freeze the leftover half for the next time, just pop a plastic food back in a cup, pour it in, tie it then fling it in to the freezer.

I would also say rice pudding or bananas in coconut custard.

You could make my favourite dessert: bananas in hot coconut milk.

Rice pudding with coconut milk is lush

I second freezing it - very handy to have it to flavour something later on, when you need it...

Freeze it until you next make a curry.

Add it to a cake - makes a nice flavour.
