Description
The three jarred sambols together: sweet and sticky seeni sambol, fiery katta sambol, and the deeply savoury Maldive fish sambol. Between them they cover the whole range a Sri Lankan table works across, and the card explains which goes with what.
A Sri Lankan plate is built on contrast. Something bland, something rich, something hot, something sharp. The sambols are how the last two arrive, and no household keeps only one.
These three are deliberately far apart. Seeni is sweet and dark. Katta is hot with nothing to soften it. Umbalakada is salt and savour. Put all three on a table and everybody finds their level.
It also solves the problem of buying somebody a single jar and discovering they wanted a different one.

Frequently Asked
Seeni sambol, comfortably. It is sweet, dark and only gently hot, and it is the one children usually eat happily. Katta sambol is at the other end and the card says so in plain terms.
