Trader Joe's is once again looking to expand its lineup of globally inspired meals with the debut of new Organic Sri Lankan Curry & Rice.
The new curry is made for Trader Joe's by a supplier in Sri Lanka, who has put together an all-in-one curry kit. Each box contains a packet of heirloom wild Sri Lankan rice, along with a packet of creamy coconut curry sauce that's seasoned with sweet and savory spices like cinnamon, curry leaves, cumin seeds, and coriander. Each kit also comes with some roasted cashews that add a satisfying crunchy element. To prepare the Organic Sri Lankan Curry & Rice, all you need to do is heat the packets together in the microwave or in a saucepan on the stovetop.
