Sambol is a popular condiment in Sri Lankan cuisine, known for its spicy and flavorful profile. It is typically made from a base of grated coconut mixed with various ingredients such as chili powder, onions, and lime juice. The combination of these elements creates a vibrant dish that can enhance the taste of rice and other meals. There are many variations of sambol, with pol sambol (coconut sambol) being one of the most common. Other types include lunu miris sambol, which incorporates onions and chili, and seeni sambol, a sweet version made with caramelized onions and spices. Each type offers a unique flavor experience.
