  6. Once everything is combined and heated through, remove from heat. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.

Notes

Substitutions: Swap beef for Halal chicken or tofu for a vegetarian option. Timing: Ensure vegetables retain some bite; avoid overcooking. Common Mistakes: Use only fresh coconut for the best flavor.
