A simple capsicum (or bell pepper) chutney is a perfect side dish for every ocassion.
This is my go to chutney.. the first “Indian” chutney that my toddler loved and every since this is her go to choice whenever we make dosas or idlis at home. Additionally you can also use it as a dip for your chips and fries. It is tangy and sweet and savory at the same time. Perfect taste for the tongue..
Note : This one is the non spicer version, but of course one can always add green chillies to turn up the heat 😉
Once prepared it an be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator and consumed over the next 2-3 days.
