What is cream of coconut?

Yes I would like to know what cream of coconut is too. Also how much curry are we supposed to add. And the kidney beans part is very confusing. You soak them overnight and then save the water ? Or you cook them and then save that water ?

Cream of Coconut or Coconut Cream in the unsweetened version is not that easy to find. I would try coconut milk in its place. Use less water since coconut milk is thinner than coconut cream. Probably the cooked bean water is saved. It would have more flavor than the soak water. Just a guess.

you can get Cream of Coconut at a chinese, indian, middle eastern or mexican store, im almost positive that every mexican or indian store especially has this. the bean thing- id assume they meant use the water you soaked the beans in as a stock for the soup (lotsa vitamins in soak water)...
