Greek yogurt

Greek yogurt's rich and thick texture may not be the first substitution that springs to mind, but this dairy-based product captures the tang, taste, and smoothness of coconut milk. If you add Greek yogurt directly to a dish without first diluting it, the resultant texture may surprise you.

To prevent this, combine it with a tablespoon or two of water. Add extra water if you want a more liquid consistency. Furthermore, if you want to recreate the flavor of coconut milk, seek coconut-flavored Greek yogurt in the dairy section of your grocery store. You should also attempt to get Greek yogurt with little added sugars to prevent affecting the other components in your recipe. If you wish to replace coconut milk in a dish, use Greek yogurt instead of plain yogurt. The former has three times the amount of saturated fat as plain yogurt and far more protein.
