@curryoclock: Sri Lankan Pumpkin Sambol A fresh, crunchy Sri Lankan sambol made with sweet seasonal pumpkin, coconut, green chilli, shallots and Maldive fish. It is a lovely alternative to the more familiar carrot sambol and works beautifully alongside a rich curry and rice. Ingredients * About 2 cups fresh sweet pumpkin, peeled and finely grated or very thinly sliced * 2–3 tbsp freshly grated coconut * 2 green chillies, thinly sliced * 1 tbsp Maldive fish * 4–5 Indian shallots, thinly sliced * Salt, to taste * Freshly ground black pepper, to taste * Juice of ½ lime, or to taste Method Add the grated coconut, green chillies, Maldive fish, shallots, salt and black pepper to a bowl and mix everything together well. Add this mixture to the finely grated or thinly sliced pumpkin and gently toss until evenly combined. Squeeze over the lime juice, taste and add a little more lime or salt if needed. Serve immediately alongside rice and curry. Tip: Choose a young, fresh and naturally sweet pumpkin for this sambol, as the pumpkin is eaten raw and should be tender and crisp. #pumpkinseason🎃 #srilankanfoodblogger #srilankancuisine #srilankancurry #srilankanfood

alternative to Maldive fish?

primadonut 🌸 :

in malaysia, we have a similar dish here but we boil the pumpkin first and add some kerisik, which is dry fried grated coconut. add dried shrimp. it's delicious. some recipes add torch flower too. we call this kerabu labu.

malays in Malaysia called this type dish as "kerabu". looks yummy. sambal referred as chili paste based gravy. [Big LOL]

GRAND MASTER KAVIEYA :

we call it kerabu at our country. sambal in our country is made with wet red chilli paste.

Actually, we have pumpkin mashuni here in the Maldives, but we steam or boil the pumpkin, and we use the same ingredients but add chopped curry leaves.
