Coconut sambol |
This is an easy to make recipe and can be loved by everyone as it can be eaten with bread, rice, Indian string hoppers, appam, thosai and idly etc. Even though we make this with chili powder or paprika powder it is not hot because the coconut takes away the heat from the chili powder. Today I am going to introduce this sambol as an accompaniment to coconut roti.
Recipe summary
For
Coconut sambol
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Preparation
1. Chop 1 onion and 10 curry leaves finely.
2. Cut 1 dry chili into small pieces. Set these aside for tempering.
3. Dissolve 30 gram seeded tamarind in 2 tbsp warm water. Squeeze about 1 tablespoon of thick pulp out of it leaving the seeds.
4. Mix 150 grams shredded coconut, 2 tsp chilly powder and ½ tsp salt. You will see coconut turning into beautiful red colour.
5. Now add ¾ of the squeezed tamarind juice mix well and taste. Adjust salt and if needed use the left over tamarind juice.
Method
1. In a non stick frying pan heat 3 tbsp sesame oil and add the cut dry chili fry for 3 seconds, add onion and fry till its transparent and throw in the curry leaves, fry for 2 seconds.
2. Reduce the fire and spoon in the shredded coconut mixture and stir fry for two minutes. If you think it is too dry you can add a little oil. I use sesame oil instead of olive oil.

This sambol is not easily spoilt if you keep out on the table for hour or two
as the tamarind juice will protect the coconut. You can keep in the fridge for one or two days.
