This can be made with fresh or canned coconut milk. To extract fresh coconut milk, crack open one coconut (reserving the liquid) and grate the coconut flesh. Place the grated coconut in a muslin cloth over a bowl and pour in some warm water. Squeeze the cloth to extract the coconut milk and repeat until you have sufficient milk. Discard the coconut chaff and freeze any excess milk. Make it as a one-pot meal by adding pieces of chicken, fish or prawns at the appropriate time during the cooking process.
