Copra. The name derives from the Malay word "kopras."
By bagged coconut I presume you mean dried coconut, if that is the case then yes you can. If the recipe calls for creamed coconut then mix enough water with the dried coconut to meet the consistency, if coconut milk is required then use more water until the desired consistency.
A mature coconut should yield about 12 oz of copra (coconut meat) after shelling and peeling off the brown backing. This is equivalent to about 4 oz dried coconut. Dried grated coconut runs about 4 oz to one cup lightly packed so a whole coconut will be about 1 cup of dried grated coconut. So if an Indian recipe calls for "1/2 dried coconut grated", figure about 2 oz of dried grated coconut or 6 oz of fresh.

Tender pulp cools the body and provides nourishment. It is very easy to digest and reduces acidity. Tender coconut pulp helps to boost body energy and strength. Fully ripe pulp acts as a very good aphrodisiac (Vajikara). It is known to increase quality and quantity of semen. It is high in dietary fibers and cleanses the intestines. Coconut oil has been in use since ages, in fact it alone was the main source of dietary cooking oil for millions of people who lived in the tropical regions or along the coast. Coconut oil is extracted from dried copra, the dried kernel. The dried coconut is cut into small pieces facilitating easy extraction. It is mildly cooked in a steamer to enhance its moisture content, and then pressed for oil. The pressed oil is then filtered to obtain pure and clean coconut oil. Another method of coconut oil extraction involves the use of coconut milk. The quality of the coconut oil is dependent upon various factors; quality of the dried coconut and extraction process.
