Instructions
  1. Get ready with grated coconut and crushed Maldives fish.

  3. Grind dried red chilies and salt together to flakes.
  4. Wash the mortar and pestle. Add the grated coconut and ground dried red chili flakes. Bash and muddle them using a pestle until they combined well.
  5. Now add sugar and bash them again.
  6. Add the onions and bash them to a good mix. Don’t bash them for a long time because sambol will be tastier when onion pieces locate here and there.

Notes
1. I used 10 dried red chilies. If you don’t like more spiciness you can reduce the number of dried red chilies.

2. Try to use small onions or shallots.
