Ginataang Kuhol (Snails in Coconut Milk)

Ginataaang kuhol or golden apple snails in coconut milk is a Filipino freshwater mollusk delicacy. These river snails are cooked in coconut milk with spices like garlic, ginger, turmeric, bagoong alamang and red chili pepper.Cooking the snails in coconut milk is one of the traditional way of cooking it and I think this is the only way these snails are cooked. If you will ask me, this is one of my favorite Filipino dish but the only hindrance of cooking this is the availability and if the source where it is caught is clean. I have an experience where I bought more than 2 kilos of kuhol but I never thought the vendor is sneaky enough to lie to us where he got the snails. When we place it in a basin full of water to let snails vomit the stuffs inside, the stench is unbearable. I think they caught it in a septic tank (poso negro). So before buying the snails, smell it first.
