Red Capsicum/Bell pepper Chutney is one of my favorite chutney to have with my dosa and idli. Generally i like the flavor of capsicum and love to add way more in my pizza & pasta, so no surprise,i do like this chutney. First time, i came to know about this chutney when i was browsing through pinterest, the vibrant color of this chutney really caught my attention, ever since i'm making this chutney regularly at my home as the side dish for idly/dosa.
So far i have tried this chutney with both red & green color bell pepper and each of them have their unique flavor and good on its own, but my personal favorite is red bell pepper chutney. Not only it looks vibrant, the flavor from the red bell pepper is so wonderful and making you wanting more & more. Either with spongy idly or crispy dosa, it tastes absolutely delicious. Though i have prepared various chutney at home regularly, just now i realized, that i hardly post any chutney recipe here, will try to post more simple chutney recipe that goes well with idly/dosa.
