sambol
Sambol is a popular condiment in Sri Lankan cuisine, typically made from grated coconut, spices, and various flavorings. It often includes ingredients like chili powder, onion, and lime juice, giving it a spicy and tangy taste. Sambol is commonly served alongside rice and curry, enhancing the overall flavor of the meal.
There are several types of sambol, with pol sambol (coconut sambol) being one of the most well-known. Other variations may include lunu miris sambol, which features onions and chili, or seeni sambol, a sweet onion relish. Each type of sambol adds a unique twist to Sri Lankan dishes.
