| Sambol with tomato |
This is another form of sambol or sauce which can be used as a dip or bread spread. It can be served with bread, rice, Indian string hoppers, appam, thosai and idly etc. Even though we make sambol with chili powder or paprika powder it is not hot because the coconut takes away the heat from the chili powder. This is meant to be spicy hot but you can make it by reducing the chilies used.

Sambol with tomato
|
You can use this sauce as a hot dip or bread spread. You will need to apply only a very light coating. You can also apply a generous coating of butter, sliced cheese or cream cheese. You will get a very tasty sandwich.
You can make a coconut sambol by mixing a tablespoon of this paste to 1/2 a cup of shredded coconut to make a delicious coconut sambol.
This chili paste can be stored in the refrigerator for about a week and more in the freezer. You cannot store the paste in a glass container if you want to keep it in the freezer. You will have to choose an appropriate container. I prefer to store in a glass container because it is very much easier take it out and use frequently.
