Recipe Notes
- For this recipe, I use sweetened coconut condensed milk which I make myself using this recipe.
- Careful when adding the rosewater! Add it slowly tasting your coconut porridge after every addition. None of the added flavors should stand in the foreground and they should not overpower the mild coconut aroma.
- You can use evaporated milk instead of sweetened condensed milk.
