About Dambala mallum

Dambala Mallum, a vibrant Sri Lankan dish, showcases the nutritious winged bean as its star ingredient. Known locally as dambala, winged beans are a powerhouse of nutrients, packed with protein, fiber, vitamins A and C, and essential minerals like iron and calcium. The dish is traditionally prepared by finely shredding the beans and mixing them with grated coconut, onions, green chilies, and a hint of lime juice for a refreshing, tangy flavor. Often enjoyed as a side dish, Dambala Mallum is a staple in Sri Lankan cuisine, celebrated for its lightness and nutritional benefits. Rich in antioxidants and low in calories, it is ideal for supporting digestion and boosting immunity. However, the added coconut, while nutrient-dense, contributes fats, so portion control is key for a balanced meal. This wholesome dish reflects the harmony of flavor and health in Sri Lankan cooking.
