Capsicum Chutney / Bell Pepper Chutney

When it comes to chutney, I love to experiment with veggies than trying out the regular style of chutney. Adding veggies to chutney, makes it more healthy and also enhances the taste and flavor. In addition, this is an easy way to feed veggies to children. This chutney is made of 3 ingredients.. Yes ! you heard it right..ONLY 3 INGREDIENTS.

                                                                Capsicum
                                                                 Tomato
                                                           Dry red chillies

Capsicum has a unique flavor which blends well with tomato and chillies to give a spicy flavorful chutney. This goes perfect with Idli and Dosa. And personally I love it with curd rice :)
