What it is
Young, unripe jackfruit (polos) cooked in a distinct sour and spicy coconut milk gravy, flavored with goraka (Garcinia cambogia) for tartness, along with roasted spices, onions, garlic, and green chilies. The firm texture of the young jackfruit makes it an interesting vegetable side.
Key ingredients
Young jackfruit (polos), coconut milk, coconut oil, onions, garlic, ginger, green chilies, curry leaves, rampe, roasted curry powder, red chili powder, turmeric, goraka, fenugreek, mustard seeds, salt.
If you order it anyway
Ensure no added sugar. Confirm only *baby* jackfruit is used, as mature jackfruit is much higher in carbs. Portion size should be controlled.
If you order it anyway, say this (Sinhala)
පොලොස් ඇඹුලට සීනි දාන්න එපා. පැසුණු පොලොස් නෙවෙයි, පොඩි පොලොස්මයි පාවිච්චි කළේ කියලා තහවුරු කරන්න.
For the Polos Ambula, please ensure no added sugar. Confirm only baby jackfruit is used, not mature jackfruit.
