Chef Vikas Khanna shares an easy trick to crack open a coconut in minutes. Watch
Chef Vikas Khanna often shares hacks on his Instagram. This time he informed his audience about how to peel a coconut easily.
One of the most adaptable ingredients in our kitchen is coconut. It is readily available, and one can cook it in various ways. While many simple recipes call for coconut, cracking it open can be trickier than it sounds. It's challenging for everyone to break the hard shell uniformly. So, if you also find this to be an issue, Chef Vikas Khanna has a hack for you!
In the hack, Vikas Khanna shares that the coconut should be split in half. After that, you need to keep the hard shell on the gas flame. Turn off the flame once the shell has nearly become black. Place the coconut in a dish with some cold water. Then gradually extracts the coconut meat from the hard shell.
In the post's caption, the chef also shared that he saw a woman doing this trick when he was in Kohlapur, Maharashtra.
