Pol sambol (Sinhala: පොල් සම්බෝල), or thenkai sambal (Tamil: தேங்காய் சம்பல்), is a traditional Sri Lankan dish made from coconut, mostly used as an accompaniment with rice, string hoppers, hoppers and curries.

[1][2] It is a coconut relish, consisting of freshly grated coconut, shallots, dried whole chilies or chili powder, lime juice, and salt.

[3][4] Traditionally the ingredients are ground on a rectangular block of granite with a granite rolling-pin, known as a miris gala (Sinhala: මිරිස් ගල).

[5] Alternatives include the use of Maldives fish (umbalakaḍa), a smoked and cured tuna, that is sold in chips or flakes.

[6][7] A variation can be made by sautéing the pol sambol in mustard seeds, curry leaves and sliced onion, which is called badapu pol sambol (sautéed pol sambol).
