A tit-bit that may be useful to U.S. visitors:
I've noticed that what's sold as shallots in the U.S. isn't the Sri Lankan red onions (rathu luunu) at all, but a paler, bigger onion about twice the size of a rathu luunu. The taste and structure inside the onion is significantly different as well.
Either rathu luunu iteself or an onion that looks exactly like it is sold as "red pearl onions." I've used them in many dishes, with authentic results, in fact if they are available, that's all I use in my Lankan dishes now. However, I've not made seeni sambole with them yet.

hiiiiii akki,
watched ur video on chicken curry receipe on Videojug - and then found this. When I make seeni sambol I keep adding sugar to get the colour :D it becomes a real "seeni" sambol. I will try your receipe tomorrow. I prefer sinhalese cooking compared to the moor dishes :o) Wish i had come across your site when i was in college! Cheers and keep up the yummy receipes, farah

Hi Brett,
It´s really nice to hear that you tried the recipe :-). Next time be careful when you are adding chili power :-).
Yes Brett, I´m telling if you use shallots ( or even red onions)instead of (yellow) onions, you will get a tasty Seeni sambola.
The reason is, in (yellow) onions there is lots of water, so while we are cooking, the water will come out and you have to keep it on heat for a long time :-(.

Are you saying that we should use shallots instead...

Are you saying that we should use shallots instead of onions for the best taste?

I made this today and it turned out quite good. I think I added a little too much chili powder... wow! It tasted like fireworks.. it was incredible.. made me sweat a little.
