ABOUT Fried Coconut Sambol RECIPE

In Sri Lanka mostly they eat a spicy coconut sambol made with fresh grated coconut, chili and onions. I loved it and I almost always have this sambol in my fridge for a quick meal because I find it pretty versatile. We can also eat it with rice, bread and even between our grilled cheese sandwiches.
