Description
Its a dry sambol that can be taken with hoppers, string hoppers, thosai, puttu even white rice. But you need "ural" to make it. Even dry grinders do not give the exact taste.
| Ingredients | |
|---|---|
| 15 nos | Dry red chilli |
| 5 nos | Small onions |
| 5 nos | Curry leaves |
| 2 clove | Garlic |
| 1 slice | Ginger (optional) |
| ½ no | Coconut |
| Salt for taste | |
| Lime for taste | |
| 1 T | Oil |
Instructions
Heat oil in a thava and fry dry red chilli, onion, garlic, and curry leaves separately (in medium flame). First, start pounding with dry red chilli; then follows the onion, garlic, ginger & curry leaves. Pound them into a fine paste without adding water. Meanwhile scrap the coconut and add lime & salt to it. Add this scrapped coconut to the chilli paste and pound well.
Notes
Small Ural/Mortar and Kuzhavi/Pestle needed to pound this sambol.
Ginger can be fried as well before pounding. A pinch of fennel seeds can be fried and added with onion.
This sambal is called idi sambol as well.

manoo i tried this it goes very well for venthaya dosa but it’s very spicy. i added 9 chilly only. what is the meaning of ‘sambol’
Hiiii,
Nice to hear that you liked it. We make it as a very spicy sambol. So, I gave that amount… Btw, Sambol is something we make raw actually. But again there are some sambols like potato sambol & sausage sambol, which are cooked. You can check under my name to get some idea about sambols :):):)
Reminded me of my granny’s aattukkal and ammikkal. Would taste very good, I think. Did u mean half of a whole coconut?
Yea its half of a whole coconut. I got some fresh – frozen coconut frm SL. should post the pic soon. We got kutti uural as well. Nalla irukkum. Try panni parungo…
hi manoo
Thank you very very much, i cooked your soya curry.. delicious as usual..your prompt reply much appreciated.. bye for now
Nice to hear that it turned out well. And abt the sambol u need ural. Yet can make with dry grinder. Do not grind after adding coconut. Just mix well with hand.
Hi Manoo, got it fixed.
Thanks Mam
