Dear friends, wishing you all a wonderful day! Today, I’ve brought a special recipe for you. It’s a dish native to Sri Lanka—one of the most iconic and popular recipes in the country: Pol Sambol. This is a must-try dish made with ingredients like coconut, salt, chili, onion, and lime juice. Although the preparation of Pol Sambol varies from region to region, I’ve added a bit of turmeric to mine, as we locally mix turmeric into many of our dishes. While traditionally, this sambol was mainly served with meals in our village, it has now gained recognition and can even be found in star hotels as a special delicacy.

So, let’s take a look at how to prepare this flavorful dish in a simple yet delicious way!
