Coconut Sambol is a vibrant Sri Lankan condiment made from freshly grated coconut, red chili peppers, lime juice, onions, and salt, often enhanced with Maldive fish for added depth. Typically paired with rice, curries, or bread, it is a staple in Sri Lankan cuisine that delivers a zesty, spicy kick. Rich in dietary fiber from coconut and vitamin C from lime juice, Coconut Sambol supports digestion and immune health. However, moderation is key for those monitoring fat intake, as coconut is high in natural fats, albeit primarily medium-chain fatty acids that may provide energy and metabolism support. The inclusion of chili peppers adds a dose of capsaicin, which may boost metabolism and reduce inflammation. When made without Maldive fish or excess salt, it can fit well into plant-based or lower-sodium diets. Its simplicity, freshness, and bold flavors make it a beloved accompaniment in traditional Sri Lankan meals.
