- 1 whole Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Dried red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon Maldives fish flakes (optional for additional flavor)

Grate or finely chop the tomato and add it to the coconut mixture.
Add the salt and dried red chili flakes to the mixture. If using Maldives fish flakes for additional flavor, add them as well.
Pour the lime juice over the coconut mixture and mix all ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a spoon, ensuring the coconut is evenly coated with the other ingredients.
Taste the sambol and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to suit your preference.
