Bring water to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until fully cooked.

Remove tuna from the pan and allow to cool slightly before flaking with a fork.

In a large mixing bowl, place 1 cup of freshly grated coconut.

Add the flaked tuna into the bowl with the grated coconut and mix gently.

Add finely chopped onion and sliced green chilies to the bowl and mix together.

Squeeze in the juice of 1 lime and add salt to taste, mixing until well combined.

Fold in 2 tablespoons of finely chopped coriander and mix well.
