In the old days pol sambol was made using the grinding stone (miris gala) or mortar and pestle.
But now a days most of Sri Lankans do not use the grinding stone. Hence, this is my easy way of making pol sambol using a South Asian food processor. Green chilli and a touch of pepper will give a good taste to this.
