Take a fork with you and eat it outside.

In a similar vein, can't you just stay there and eat?

A big bit of foam at the bottom of the cool-box? Wrapped in plastic in case a leak does occur. Although if you are buying for your family it is likely that the food will be heavy enough to compress the foam to the point that it is useless as a shock absorber.
Deckie's suggestion of suspension inside the cool-box is a winner, perhaps a plywood platform suspended by bungees.
You could always walk....

Can't you just add a couple of decent ties to the curry boxes so they won't open even if shaken around?
This is probably easier with my local curry house which uses plastic lid on plastic box as opposed to the "traditional" foil box and cardboard lid. But perhaps a few lock-and-lock containers would work?

surely it must be made from old inner tubes?

Well the engineer in me meant I had to post.
If you are using a front basket, how about lining it with a bin bag, then stuffing the bottom with old plastic carrier bags (think bundles). This should provide enough shock absorption in all directions to safely transport your curry home.
Think of it as filling a basket with mini foam balls, when combined you have a pretty good absorber as well as something to hold items in place.
