About Onion sambol

Onion Sambol is a vibrant and flavorful condiment originating from Sri Lankan cuisine. This traditional dish is made by finely slicing red onions and mixing them with chili powder, salt, lime juice, and occasionally Maldive fish for added umami flavor. Some variations may include tomatoes or fresh chili peppers for extra zest. Onion Sambol is typically served alongside rice, curries, or flatbreads, offering a tangy and spicy complement to the meal. Nutritionally, it is low in calories and rich in antioxidants due to the onions, which support overall health and combat inflammation. Lime juice adds vitamin C, promoting immunity and skin health. However, the high sodium content from salt and Maldive fish can be a concern for those monitoring their sodium intake. As part of a balanced diet, Onion Sambol can be an exciting way to add bold flavors and nutrients without excess calories.
