Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Grated fresh coconut
- 1 cup Textured vegetable protein (TVP) granules
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 whole Medium onion
- 1 tablespoon Red chili flakes
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by hydrating the TVP granules to enhance their texture. Place 1 cup of TVP in a medium bowl and pour 1 cup of boiling water over it. Stir briefly and let it rest for about 5 minutes until the TVP absorbs the water and becomes soft.
While waiting for the TVP to hydrate, finely chop 1 medium onion and 2 tablespoons of fresh cilantro. Squeeze the juice from 1 lime and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of grated fresh coconut with the softened TVP.
Add the chopped onion, 1 tablespoon of red chili flakes, 0.5 teaspoon of cumin powder, 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of salt to the coconut and TVP mixture.
Pour the freshly squeezed lime juice over the mixture. Using your hands (clean or with gloves), mix everything thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Add the chopped cilantro into the mix and gently fold it in to maintain the fresh flavor.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice as desired.
Serve this high-protein coconut sambol alongside rice, curry dishes, or use it as a topping for flatbreads and wraps. It's a delightfully flavorful and nutritious addition to any meal.
