Raj,
You can use frozen or fresh coconut for this recipe.

thx …when fresh coconut is grated, it is wet, should it dry before we add to frying pan….and can it be added after the rice is added?
some clarification on above 2 points wanted.

Hi,
First, i would like to thank for your comment.
As the grated coconut is fried, no need to dry it out. Meantime it is better to fry and add it before adding rice. But adding it after rice will give some different taste.
Based on your taste you can prepare either way. Thanks again
