I have not opened this jar yet, but if it is as good as your Pol sambol, it should be good, thank you.

Five stars.
I've also tried the spicy tamarind chutney, and both the red and green sambol, and rate them all just as high.

Authentic Sambol

Great Sambol-almost as good as the real, fresh, home made ones we had in Hikkaduwa. Brings back memories and so good that I bought 4 jars this time!
