If you order it anyway, say this (Sinhala)
සීනි එකතු කරන්න එපා. තක්කාලි පේස්ට් දානවා නම් ඉතාම අඩුවෙන් දාන්න.
No added sugar, please. If using tomato paste, please keep it minimal.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in pre-made curry powders or coconut milk. Cashews themselves contain carbs. Onions and a small amount of tomato (if used).
