Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk
Ingredients
1 (14-ounce/397-gram) can full-fat coconut milk
1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
Ingredients
  1. In a medium pot, cook the coconut milk over medium heat until it’s fluid, whisking occasionally until the solids have liquefied and it’s one uniform consistency, 1 to 2 minutes.
  2. Add the sugar and stir until fully dissolved. Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is reduced by just over half and is thick enough to coat a spoon, 45 minutes to 1 hour. (I like to place a spatula or spoon—not the stirring utensil I’m using—into the pot at the beginning, to visually mark the height of the liquid, then continue to do this as a check-in until it’s reduced properly.)
  3. Cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Masala Dosa With Coconut Chutney From Padma Lakshmi
"Of all the dishes Padma Lakshmi cooks, dosa hits the closest to home, because it’s one of her earliest food memories. At two years old, she sat and watched her grandmother grind rice for the batter in the reservoir of a huge, flat, two-foot-wide stone. Recalling the tedious process, Lakshmi demonstrates with movements of her hands how the fermented rice and lentils are carefully combined into a paste and thinned with water for fresh dosa batter. Her grandmother did that every day for 10 people when Lakshmi was a child; when she grew old enough to use the stovetop, at age 12, her grandmother eventually taught her the technique for the perfect dosa. Her Aunt Bhanu—whose recipe she shared with us for masala dosas and coconut chutney, all coordinated via a long WhatsApp chain—continued that tradition whenever Lakshmi visited her in India. Even after partying until 4 a.m., if a group of them came back to the house, Bhanu would ask if they wanted some fresh dosas. It became a love language that Lakshmi has passed down to her daughter, too." —Alyse Whitney
