Onion sambal (salad)
Cooking time: 5 min. / 0 min.Difficulty: easy
If someone offers to me a salad made of onions, I usually would refuse with thanks. But I made an exception and tried the one in Sri Lanka and it was a good choice. Salad is great and spicy. Not only because of the onions, but because of the heap of chili flakes too. But it is worth it. And not recommended when going for a date ;)
Process
Mix all ingredient and drizzle lime juice and mix again.
Serve with various kinds of Sri Lankan curries and rice or rice noodles, called "string hoppers".
