🇱🇰 Sri Lanka recipe
Gotukola Sambol
Gotukola sambol is a refreshing, herbal salad that is as nutritious as it is flavorful. Gotu kola (Centella asiatica) is a small, kidney-shaped green leaf that grows abundantly in Sri Lanka and has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. In the kitchen, it is finely shredded and mixed with coconut, onion, chili, lime, and Maldive fish to create a bright, crunchy sambol that provides a cooling counterpoint to rich, spicy curries.
