Pol Sambol-Sri Lankan Coconut Sambol Recipe

If given a choice i would term pol sambol as a dish that defines sri lanka. Simple, rustic and basic yet bursting with delightful flavours. Pol means coconut and sambol is a chutney or salsa like condiment that accompanies sri lankan rice, curries and flat breadseach meal we had in sri lanka was accompanied by this delish sambol and a salad. Sambol is a condiment made using some very minimum ingredients and is usually not cooked. The pol sambol recipe i share was served with hoppers, pol roti, curry and rice. Practically everything. It is a dish a sri lankan can put together from the ingredients fetched from their back yards. It is extremely basic and yet its presence elevates the entire meal.
