Hello foodies,
Today I'm going to share a famous food in Sri Lanka that is made at least once in a week in our homes; Coconut Salad. As Sri Lanka is a tropical country, coconut trees are richly grown here. Therefore we have different kind food made out of coconut. Coconut Salad or else Pol Sambol is a spicy food made out of scraped coconut. This is taken into meal with rice, string hoppers, hoppers etc. This is an easy food that can be made in 10 mins and the process is really simple. I know that every kid can easily grab it and try this at home.
