Freshly grated coconut is available at Indian supermarkets in the freezer section. The brand I use is called Daily Delite. If you are unable to find freshly grated coconut or want a short cut, take a cup of coconut milk, mix in 1.5 tsp of hot red chilly powder and a heaped tbsp of cumin powder and mix this with the cooked cauliflower instead of the ground coconut paste. It still creates a beautiful, yummy curry!
