Ingredients
- 1 cup (grated) Fresh coconut
- 0.5 medium (finely chopped) Red onion
- 1 medium (finely sliced) Green chili
- 1 whole (juiced) Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
Directions
Step 1
Begin by grating the fresh coconut to measure one cup, ensuring it's finely grated for the best texture in the sambol.
Step 2
Finely chop half of a medium red onion and set aside.
Step 3
Slice the green chili into thin rings. If you prefer a milder sambol, remove the seeds.
Step 4
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the grated coconut, chopped onion, and green chili. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Step 5
Juice one whole lime and pour the lime juice over the coconut mixture. Add 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper. Stir gently to combine.
Step 6
In a small frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Add 0.5 teaspoons of mustard seeds and allow them to splutter for about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn them.
Step 7
Pour the hot oil and mustard seeds over the coconut mixture. Be cautious as the oil will be hot and may sizzle on contact.
Step 8
Add the chopped cilantro to the mixture and stir everything together until well combined.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to suit your preference.
Step 10
Serve the Keto Coconut Sambol immediately as a side dish or accompaniment to your favorite keto meal.
