Key ingredients
Jicama (or konnyaku), coconut milk, shallots, garlic, red chilies, turmeric, ginger, galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, cooking oil, salt.
If you order it anyway
Explicitly request 'tanpa nangka' (without jackfruit) and suggest using jicama or konnyaku as a fibrous alternative. Ensure 'tanpa gula' (without sugar) and no other starchy vegetables.
