To mix the red chilli flakes, maldive fish, garlic and salt, you have to use a stone mortar or a grinder or a “miris galak”. Firstly, you have to pound or grind them well. Then you should add sliced onions and pound or grind them again, until the onions turn mushy and well blend with chilli mixture. After that, you should add the grated coconut and grind/pound them again for few minutes.

Thereafter, you can add lime juice and salt as you want. Now your pol sambol is ready to serve. You can serve it with bread, rice or with string hoppers.
