Add the tomatoes and another 100ml water, cook until completely reduced and fry the paste for 4-5 minutes or until the oil comes out on top.
Stir in the coconut milk and 150 ml of water bring to a gentle simmer and allow the flavours to marry and develop for 5 minutes.

Taste and adjust the seasoning then serve.
