Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (grated) Fresh coconut
- 0.5 medium (finely chopped) Red onion
- 1 medium (finely sliced) Green chili
- 1 whole (juiced) Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
Instructions
Begin by grating the fresh coconut to measure one cup, ensuring it's finely grated for the best texture in the sambol.
Finely chop half of a medium red onion and set aside.
Slice the green chili into thin rings. If you prefer a milder sambol, remove the seeds.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the grated coconut, chopped onion, and green chili. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Juice one whole lime and pour the lime juice over the coconut mixture. Add 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper. Stir gently to combine.
In a small frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Add 0.5 teaspoons of mustard seeds and allow them to splutter for about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn them.
Pour the hot oil and mustard seeds over the coconut mixture. Be cautious as the oil will be hot and may sizzle on contact.
Add the chopped cilantro to the mixture and stir everything together until well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to suit your preference.
Serve the Keto Coconut Sambol immediately as a side dish or accompaniment to your favorite keto meal.
