This is a different way to make Pol Sambol using desiccated coconut. I never like using water to moisture desiccated coconut. So tried this recipe and it turned out be like the fresh Pol Sambol as no water is added.

2 Cups of Desiccated coconut
2 Onions, grated to a paste
1 table spoon of Maldivian fish, finely chopped (optional)
1 medium size tomato, finely chopped to give fresh juice with pulp
2-3 table spoons of red chilli powder
1 table spoons Lime juice
Salt to taste

Mix desiccated coconut, onion paste and tomato pulp juice with chilli powder, Maldivian fish and salt. The add lime juice and mix.
