For an extra layer of flavor, consider toasting the grated coconut lightly before adding it to the mixture.
Adjust the amount of chile pepper to your liking, depending on your preferred spice level.
If fresh coconut is unavailable, unsweetened shredded coconut can be used as a substitute. Soak it in a little coconut milk or water to rehydrate before using.
Kelaguen Chicken is best served cold, as the flavors intensify as it chills.
