This soup has very few ingredients. In addition to its simplicity, you can serve it either hot or cold, making it suitable for any kind of weather. The curry powder adds a really delicious undertone to the whole soup, and brings the coconut back to its origins in Kerala, Southern India. Ask the produce person where you buy the coconut to slice off the top, and give you the water in a cup. You are only using the water in the soup, so you can always use a hammer and nail at home.
