{"title":"Sri Lankan Curries","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Sri Lankan lunch is rice with three or four curries, and the vegetable ones are often the most work. Young jackfruit has to be cut, cleaned of its sticky latex and simmered for an hour. Brinjal is sliced, salted, deep fried and then cooked again in a sweet, sour and spicy sauce. Cashew curry, kaju maluwa, means soaking raw cashews before simmering them in coconut milk with turmeric and curry leaves. These ready-made curries take care of all that, cooked in the Sri Lankan style with roasted curry powder, goraka and coconut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe range includes polos curry and polos ambul, a sour version of the jackfruit curry, fried brinjal curry, cashew curry, brinjal curry and green jak curry.
