making Greek yogurt at home is quite straightforward! Here's a basic recipe and procedure:

# # # Ingredients:
- 4 cups of whole milk
- 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt (as a starter culture)
- Cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel
- Cooking thermometer
- A pot for heating milk
- A bowl for mixing

# # # Procedure:
1. **Heat the Milk**: Pour the milk into a pot and heat it over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Use a cooking thermometer to monitor the temperature. Heat the milk until it reaches around 180°F (82°C). This helps to kill any unwanted bacteria.

2. **Cool the Milk**: Allow the milk to cool down to about 110°F (43°C). You can speed up this process by placing the pot in a cold water bath.

3. **Mix in Yogurt**: In a separate bowl, mix the plain yogurt with a small amount of the warmed milk. Ensure the yogurt is well incorporated and smooth. Then pour this mixture back into the pot of warm milk and stir gently.

4. **Fermentation**: Cover the pot with a lid or a clean kitchen towel and place it in a warm spot. You can use an oven with the light on, a yogurt maker, or simply wrap the pot in towels to keep it warm. Let it sit and ferment for about 8-12 hours. The longer it ferments, the tangier it will become.

5. **Straining**: Once the yogurt has thickened, line a colander with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel and place it over a bowl. Pour the yogurt into the lined colander. Let it strain for 2-3 hours or longer, depending on how thick you want your Greek yogurt to be. The longer it strains, the thicker it becomes.

6. **Store or Serve**: Transfer the strained yogurt to a container and store it in the refrigerator. Your homemade Greek yogurt is ready to enjoy!

Remember, the quality of your yogurt starter (the plain yogurt used) can impact the final taste and texture of your homemade Greek yogurt. Also, experiment with the fermentation time and straining duration to achieve your preferred thickness and tanginess. Enjoy your delicious homemade Greek yogurt!

5. **Steaming:**
- Place the wrapped Moi Moi in a pot or steamer, stacking them if needed.
- Add water to the pot, enough to reach just below the level of the Moi Moi wraps. Cover the pot.

6. **Cooking:**
- Steam the Moi Moi on medium heat for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Check the water level periodically during cooking and add more if necessary to prevent burning.

7. **Cooling and Serving:**

- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning and soy sauce according to your preference.

5. **Adding Pineapple:**
- Finally, add the pineapple chunks to the skillet. Gently fold them into the rice mixture, allowing the pineapple to heat through for about a minute or two.

1. **Nutrient-Rich:** Coconuts are packed with essential nutrients such as vitamins C, E, B1, B3, B5, and B6. They also contain minerals like iron, selenium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus.

2. **Healthy Fats:** Coconuts are a rich source of healthy fats, particularly medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are easily digested and can be quickly converted into energy.

3. **Antioxidant Properties:** They contain antioxidants like phenolic compounds and flavonoids, which help protect the body from oxidative stress and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

4. **Boosts Heart Health:** The high content of lauric acid in coconuts may help increase levels of good HDL cholesterol and lower levels of bad LDL cholesterol, potentially reducing the risk of heart disease.

5. **Supports Digestive Health:** The fiber content in coconut supports healthy digestion and can aid in preventing constipation.

6. **Hydration and Electrolyte Balance:** Coconut water, found inside young coconuts, is a natural electrolyte-rich drink that helps maintain proper hydration levels and replenishes electrolytes lost during physical activities.

7. **Skin and Hair Care:** Coconut oil is widely used in skincare and haircare products due to its moisturizing properties. It helps hydrate the skin, reduces inflammation, and can act as a natural conditioner for hair.

8. **Anti-Inflammatory Properties:** Certain compounds in coconuts exhibit anti-inflammatory effects, potentially aiding in reducing inflammation in the body.

9. **Weight Management:** MCTs in coconuts might aid in weight management by increasing feelings of fullness and boosting calorie burning.

10. **Antimicrobial and Antifungal:** The lauric acid in coconuts has antimicrobial properties, potentially fighting off harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

11. **Brain Health:** Some studies suggest that MCTs in coconuts may support brain health by providing an alternative energy source and potentially improving cognitive function.

Incorporating coconuts, coconut oil, or coconut water into your diet or skincare routine can offer numerous health benefits, but moderation is key due to their high-fat content. Always consult a healthcare professional before making significant dietary changes.

4 cups or 500g all purpose flour
1/2 cup or 100g sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 large egg
180ml or 3/4 cup fresh milk (you can also evaporated milk or powdered milk)
8 tablespoons or 1/2 cup melted butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg or cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Vegetable oil for frying

Sift the flour, baking powder, nutmeg or cinnamon, sugar and salt into a bowl.

Add the butter or margarine to the dry ingredients and mix until properly combined

Add the vanilla extract to the the milk and mix well, then add the mixture to flour mixture

Also add the egg to the flour mixture and mix everything together until you form a dough

Knead the dough for about 3 minutes till smooth and not sticky

With a rolling pin, roll into a thin sheet on a floured surface and cut to your desired shape and size

Fry in vegetable oil until golden brown.

Drain excess oil with a kitchen towel

Let cool and enjoy

2. CHOCO CHINCHIN

Same as above but add 100g of Milo or ovaltine to the dry ingredients before, adding the wet ingredients.
NOTE
-If the dough is too strong, add a bit of
water.
-You may or may not omit the vanilla
essence and the nutmeg/cinnamon.
-You can also use cocoa powder but
you have to increase the amount of
sugar used in the vanilla recipe.

3. COCONUT CHINCHIN

Same as vanilla chinchin, but with the coconut chinchin, you would need a medium sized coconut.
-Break the coconut and pry out the
flesh.
-Blend the coconut flesh with about
150ml of water.
-Sieve out the milk and use in place of
the 180ml of milk used in the vanilla
chinchin recipe.

4. BEETROOT CHINCHIN

Same as the vanilla chinchin, but for
this, you would need a medium sized
beetroot.
-Cook the beetroot, blend with as little
water as possible and sieve out the
juice or alternatively use a juicer and
then add the juice gradually to the dry
ingredients.
it is
advisable to use powdered milk,
instead of fresh/evaporated milk, so
that the dough does not become too
watery.
