Gotukola Sambol (Pennywort Salad)
Green leafy vegetables aren’t the most common thing to
eat in Sri Lanka, though the cooking does call for many
tuberous vegetables. But anyway, since I love green
veggies, I ate a dish known as Gotukola Sambol,
frequently during my visit.
Gotukola is the word for Asiatic pennywort, a small leafy
green vegetable that’s common throughout southeast
Asia. Sambol is the word used to describe a dish or
garnish that prepared and eaten using raw ingredients. So
gotukola sambol is a basically Sri Lankan salad garnish.
