Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Wash the 4 cups of Fresh Gotu Kola leaves thoroughly under cold running water, then pat them dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. Finely chop the 4 cups of Gotu Kola leaves into pieces no larger than 0.635 cm (0.6 cm). Finely chop the 1/4 cup of Red onion into pieces no larger than 0.3175 cm (0.3 cm). Carefully remove the stem from the 1 Green chili, and then finely chop it into pieces no larger than 0.3175 cm (0.3 cm).
- 2Place a small pan (e.g., an 20.32 cm skillet) over medium heat (approximately 148.9-162.8°C / 150-160°C). Add the 1 teaspoon of Coconut oil to the pan and let it melt. Once melted, add the 1/2 cup of Unsweetened coconut flakes and stir constantly for 3 to 5 minutes, until the coconut flakes are evenly golden brown and fragrant. Immediately transfer the toasted coconut flakes to a small plate and set them aside to cool completely, which will take about 5-10 minutes.
- 3In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped 4 cups of Fresh Gotu Kola leaves, the finely chopped 1/4 cup of Red onion, and the finely chopped 1 Green chili.
- 4Pour the 2 tablespoons of Lime juice over the ingredients in the bowl. Add Salt to taste, starting with 1/4 teaspoon, and mix gently with a spoon or your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- 5Once the 1/2 cup of Unsweetened coconut flakes have cooled completely and are crisp, sprinkle them evenly over the sambol. Serve the Keto Sri Lankan Gotu Kola Sambol immediately.
