Heat the coconut oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle until aromatic, about 30 seconds.
Sauté the chopped onion until it becomes translucent and light golden, roughly 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Mix in the curry powder, turmeric powder, and coriander powder, ensuring the spices are well coated with the onion, garlic, and ginger.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes, cooking them down until they are soft and the oil begins to separate, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the coconut milk and water, mixing everything well. Allow it to come to a gentle simmer.
Add salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Add the vegan prawns into the simmering curry, ensuring they are evenly submerged.
Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the prawns to heat through.
Stir in lemon juice and sprinkle with red chili flakes for an extra kick of heat.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice or your choice of bread.
