red onions. One of them is 'pol sambol' or coconut chutney which is a mixture of spices like
chilly, pepper, garlic, curry leaves,coconut and onions. The more onions
you add to this mixuture, the more delicious it becomes.
Another
food Sri Lankans make out of Onions is 'Sini Sambol'. This combination
also contains almost all the ingredients of 'pol sambol' except coconut
and it also has sugar. So imagine how good it would taste, this
combination of spices with a pinch of sugar.
