This is a list of notable dishes made using coconut milk. Coconut milk is the liquid that comes from the grated meat of a coconut. The color and rich taste of the milk can be attributed to the high oil content. Most of the fat is saturated fat. Coconut milk is a very popular food ingredient used in Southeast Asia, especially in Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and the Philippines and in South Asia, specifically in Sri Lanka and South India.
