The coconut has to be fried without oil until brown. The easiest way is to use a microwave to fast track the activity. To fry quarter grated coconut, keep the coconut in a flat plate in the Microwave for 4 to 5 minutes. If coconut did not get fried yet continue microwaving for one-one minute until coconut turns very light brown color.
