Lunu Miris -Onion Tomato Salad

This is a simple onion salad from Sri Lanka. We call it as ‘thakkali sambola’ .For most of the Sri Lankan salads, this onion and tomato salad is the base. With same ingredients and method, we can make it a cucumber salad, carrot salad or even a beetroot salad. Salad base is same for most of these different Sri Lankan salads.Simply remove tomato from your salad when you use other ingredients such as carrot or cucumber.

Anyway, in Sri Lanka, we also enjoy ‘Katta Sambal’ which is more hot and spicy with added red chili flakes. But this Tomato and Onion sambol (or thakkali sambola) is not that hot. If you want it to be more hot, then add more green chillies, red chili flakes and black pepper powder.
