MA's Kitchen Sambol Seasoning Cubes are a shortcut to the tangy, spicy flavour of Sri Lankan sambols. Each cube dissolves and mixes into a ready base, so a bowl of relish or a spicy sauce comes together without pounding chilli and Maldive fish by hand.
The cubes are built on salt, rice, chilli, ginger, pepper and curry leaves, with tuna fish powder (Maldive fish), garlic and tomato giving the savoury depth that a classic pol sambol is known for. This pack holds six cubes, 60g in all. Keep them in the cupboard for days when you want a quick spicy side to go with rice, roti, bread or hoppers. Note that the cubes contain fish, so they are not suitable for vegetarians.

How to use
Dissolve a cube and mix it in to create a flavourful base for sambols, relishes and spicy sauces. For a quick Pol Sambol, crumble and dissolve a cube, then mix it thoroughly through freshly grated coconut, adding chopped onion and a squeeze of lime to taste. The maker gives no exact quantities, so add a little at a time and adjust to your preferred heat and saltiness.
