Coconut Sambal is one of Sri Lanka’s most beloved traditional condiments, bringing a burst of flavor to almost every meal. At Disnie’s Ceylon, we’re excited to offer a convenient, canned version of this delightful dish, preserving its authentic taste while ensuring a long shelf life of 12 months. Our Coconut Sambal is available in two varieties to suit all tastes: Vegan and Non-Vegan.

The key difference between the two? Our Vegan Coconut Sambal is made without Maldive fish, making it suitable for those who prefer plant-based diets, while our Non-Vegan version includes Maldive fish for that extra hit of umami flavor.

What Goes Into Our Coconut Sambal?

The essence of Coconut Sambal lies in its simplicity, yet it offers layers of flavor that pair perfectly with Sri Lankan meals. Our Coconut Sambal is made from grated coconut, red chilies, onions, and salt. To elevate the flavors even further, we temper it using pure coconut oil and infuse the dish with the aroma of curry leaves and caramelized onions.

Each ingredient plays a key role in delivering the signature taste of this much-loved Sri Lankan dish:

• Grated Coconut: At the heart of sambal is the humble coconut. Rich in healthy fats, coconut adds a creamy texture and delicate sweetness.
• Red Chilies: This brings the heat! Red chilies provide the characteristic spiciness that sambal lovers crave.
• Onions & Salt: These balance out the spice and bring a subtle, sweet, and savory flavor.
• Coconut Oil & Curry Leaves: Tempering the sambal in coconut oil with curry leaves enhances its depth of flavor, making each bite aromatic and satisfying.

Why Coconut is Amazing for Your Health

Coconut isn’t just delicious; it’s also packed with health benefits. Rich in medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), coconut supports your body’s metabolism and provides quick energy. Its lauric acid content is known to boost immunity and support heart health. Coconut also has a high fiber content, promoting better digestion. Plus, it’s full of essential minerals like iron and potassium.

How to Enjoy Coconut Sambal

Coconut Sambal is as versatile as it is flavorful! Traditionally, it’s enjoyed as a side dish with rice and curry, but there are many other ways to incorporate it into your meals:

• Rice & Curry: The most popular way to enjoy Coconut Sambal is alongside a plate of rice and spicy curry. It adds a fresh, spicy kick that complements Sri Lankan curries perfectly.
• String Hoppers or Hoppers: Another classic pairing is with string hoppers (steamed rice noodles) or hoppers (Sri Lankan pancakes). Add a spoonful of sambal to each bite for a fiery flavor explosion.
• On Toast or Crackers: For a quick and easy snack, spread Coconut Sambal on a slice of toasted bread or some crackers. The combination of creamy coconut and spicy chilies makes for a delightful treat.
• As a Dip: Use our Coconut Sambal as a dip for grilled meats, vegetables, or even chips. The combination of heat and creaminess makes it a crowd-pleaser at any gathering.
• With Roti or Paratha: Coconut Sambal is also perfect with flatbreads like roti or paratha. Simply tear off a piece of bread and scoop up some sambal for an authentic Sri Lankan bite.
