They also announced that they will be unveiling 2 new exclusive Curry puffs closer to Curry Day 2018.

Jackfruit, on the other hand, might not be that much of a stretch, considering that jackfruit is a component used in curries in Bangladesh and other parts of Asia.
Here’s a look at the Durian Curry Chicken’O in all it’s pastel green glory.
