Polos Ambula is a traditional Sri Lankan sour curry made from tender jackfruit (Polos in Sinhala), cooked with tangy goraka (a souring agent) and a blend of aromatic spices. This dish stands out for its unique combination of earthy jackfruit and a rich, tangy curry base that has a deep, bold flavor. Unlike the milder coconut-based jackfruit curries, Polos Ambula is characterized by its sourness, creating a distinct and refreshing taste. It’s a popular dish throughout Sri Lanka, often served as part of a larger rice and curry meal.

Ingredients: Key ingredients for Polos Ambula include:

Tender Jackfruit (Polos): Peeled and cut into chunks.
Goraka (Garcinia Cambogia): The souring agent that gives the curry its tangy flavor.
Ceylon Spices: Including turmeric, chili powder, coriander powder, black pepper, and roasted curry powder.
Garlic and Onions: For aromatic depth.
Curry Leaves: A staple in Sri Lankan cuisine, adding fragrance.
Mustard Seeds and Fenugreek Seeds: For tempering.
Green Chilies: To add mild heat.
Fresh Lime Juice: Optional, for an extra tangy finish.
Salt and Water: To adjust seasoning and consistency.

Cooking Procedure:

Preparing the Polos: The tender jackfruit is peeled, cut into chunks, and parboiled to soften it. This helps the jackfruit absorb the flavors of the curry later on.
Tempering the Spices: In a hot pan, mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds are tempered in oil until they crackle and release their aroma. Garlic, onions, green chilies, and curry leaves are then added and sautéed until golden and fragrant.
Building the Curry Base: The Ceylon spices (turmeric, chili powder, coriander powder, black pepper, and roasted curry powder) are added to the pan and allowed to roast for a few seconds. Goraka, along with its soaking water, is added to form the tangy base of the curry.
Cooking the Polos: The tender jackfruit is added to the curry base, and enough water is poured in to help it cook. The mixture is brought to a simmer, allowing the jackfruit to absorb the tangy, spicy flavors of the goraka and spices.
Simmering: The curry is cooked until the jackfruit becomes tender and flavorful, and the sauce thickens. For an extra burst of tanginess, fresh lime juice can be added at the end.

Taste: Polos Ambula has a distinctive sour and savory flavor profile, with the tender jackfruit absorbing the tangy notes from the goraka. The spices add warmth and depth, while the slight bitterness from the fenugreek seeds complements the sourness, creating a well-balanced and flavorful dish. The slow cooking process allows the jackfruit to break down slightly, giving it a melt-in-your-mouth texture. This sour curry is refreshing, with a bold, robust taste that sets it apart from other Sri Lankan jackfruit curries.

Popularity in Sri Lanka: Polos Ambula is a cherished dish in Sri Lankan households, particularly in regions where jackfruit is abundant. It is a traditional dish often prepared for family meals, festive gatherings, and religious occasions. This sour curry pairs well with a variety of other curries and rice dishes, making it a versatile addition to any Sri Lankan meal. Its use of local ingredients, especially goraka and tender jackfruit, ties it closely to the island’s rich culinary heritage.
