Use chicken broth in place of much of the water (more taste). Yes, try adding lightly toasted shredded coconut. Coconut milk is very oily/fatty and makes it mushier, if you use too much. Add some curry powder and chopped onion. Simmer, and after it's cooked, stir in pineapple chunks, cubed mango. I've also added green peas and diced carrots, before (while it's simmering).
