  3. Stir in tomatoes and cook until well softened and beginning to release juices. If still too dry, add up to 1/4 cup water. Stir in the coconut.
  4. Add the marinated prawns and cover the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, just until the prawns are pink and heated through.
  5. Remove from heat, sprinkle with cilantro, and serve immediately with bread or rice.
