Yeah, it’s an useful backup for when you just need a bit and don’t want to open a whole can, or can’t be arsed going to the shops. But clearly not quite the same. I haven’t used it in over a decade, it’s okay for thickening a sauce but not so much for coconut-forward dishes.

You can get larger packs of the stuff in Asian shops, decent Colesworths have the smaller packs.

Usually p good with spice, though less so than in my early 20s.
