Sambols are a part of every Sri Lankan meal much like our chutneys and pickles…they add a lot of flavour and zing to a meal…Sambols are so versatile,they are eaten at breakfast ,lunch and dinner.They are quick to make and contain only a few ingredients,I think once you taste them you will think of a number of other dishes ,from various other cuisines to which the flavours of these Sambols can be easily adapted ! It definitely does appeal to the Indian palate ! This recipe of Pol Sambol,can be made and served along with the milk rice and dhal curry that was mentioned in my earlier post….YUM…just thinking of the delicious flavours is enough to get my taste buds working overtime :)))…please do try and do leave your comments,it really does help for me to know if your kitchen benefits from these recipes !
While some coconut Sambols contain Maldive fish,this one is a vegetarian version and tastes equally good !
