Combine 1/2 cup cold water with the flour in a small bowl. Mix well and stir into curry sauce. Add chicken, pineapple and heavy cream. Cover and cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Serve over Coconut Rice.

Stir in coconut milk, cover and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir with a fork to fluff and separate the grains.
