Lunu Miris – Sri Lankan Chile Sambol

Last Updated on December 16, 2020 by

Spice pastes, known as sambol’s are popular throughout many Southeast Asian countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Sri Lanka. These can be made with all types of ingredients often including various fruits or vegetables and sweetmeats like chicken liver or gizzards or dried shrimp or fish, but chile is a necessary ingredient in whichever version you make. It is a spicy condiment, hence the need for the chiles.

This is Sri Lanka’s basic version and can be eaten with all variety of meals. It is commonly eaten with Kiri Bath for breakfast.
