I was introduced to Srilankan food by a very good friend who is from Sri Lanka. She prepared this recipe with Kale and I was pleasantly surprised at how simple yet delicious and nutritious it was! I had to learn how to make it, but I was short on Kale, so added Bok Choy and…
Traditionally it is called “Gotu Kola Sambol” made with medicinal greens Centella Asiatica, but you can add any shredded greens of your choice as long as they don’t get too soggy and wilted.
