The further north you go in India, the less spicy the food. These curries aren't that spicy at all. As I was trying to point out in my post, there is a lot of variation in regional cuisine, so it doesn't really make sense to speak of "Indian" curries as being spicy. Anne, Welcome! Cashew and pumpkins should be readily available here. Jackfruit only in its canned incarnation, which is probably gross....

I lived in Sri Lanka for three years (via the Peace Corps). I lived in Kandy for the first three months, then moved to Marawila for about 6; the remainder of my stay was spent in Rekawa, which is east of Tangalle. I miss the food dearly. I make parippu, pol saembol, and rotis fairly often, but there are so many things I can't get here (NE U.S.) that I could get there. Lately I've been having a craving for jakfruit, cashew curry, and pumpkin curry. The family I lived with were fantastic cooks. I really miss the food, the people, and the island itself. Ayubowan! I'll check back in later when I have more time to read. I’m so happy to have stumbled upon your blog! I lived in Sri Lanka for three years (via the Peace Corps).

I never thought I would until I met my British husband (I'm American) and now I'm crazy for all types of Indian food. Interestingly, I usually take a break from eating Indian over the hot summer b/c w/ the spice and heaviness (I always over-indulge w/ it!), I feel like a heffer - and worse if it's humid outside. In India, they live in the heat... I guess it just proves I'm not Indian. Great recipe. amy @ we are never full I absolutely LOVE a good fish curry.
