Drain the jackfruit, halve the larger pieces, and rinse everything under cold water. Roughly chop the onions. Finely chop the garlic and ginger. Heat the oil in a pan. Fry the jackfruit and onions over medium heat until the pieces are lightly browned. Add the tomato paste, ginger, garlic, and Sri Lankan curry powder. Fry for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spices are well mixed with the oil. If in doubt, add a little more oil. Pour in the coconut milk, bring to a boil once, then reduce the heat. Simmer for another 15 minutes. Season with salt, if desired. If the curry is too thick, add a little water or coconut milk.
