Bok Choy - Bell Pepper Chutney / Chutney Recipe - 38 / #100chutneys


Bok Choy is a type of Chinese cabbage which is also otherwise called as Pak Choi. These leaves are generally used in Stir fry and Soup. Apart from stir fry and soup, I love adding it in Omelette which gives a lovely flavour and also I have included in Rice and Curries. For the first time, I tried chutney out of these and it tasted yummy. I have included Bellpepper / Capsicum and Tomato to enhance the flavour and also to make it healthy. The addition of cumin seed gives a lovely taste and sesame seed gives a rich texture to the chutney. This nutritious chutney can be served with Rice, Idly or Dosa.

Sharing couple of recipes which I had posted earlier using Bok Choy...

Chicken, Bok Choy & Egg Stir Fry 

Bacon Wrapped Asparagus 


Ingredients :

1 Tbsp Oil 
4 - 5 Bok Choy Leaves (along with stem), chopped 
1 Bell Pepper / Capsicum, finely chopped 
1 Tomato, Finely chopped 
3 - 4 Dry red chillies ( Adjust according to taste bud ) 
1 Tsp Sesame Seeds 
1/2 Tsp Cumin seeds / Jeera seeds 
2 Garlic pods
Salt to taste 

Method :

Heat oil in a pan and add sesame seeds.

Fry it for half a minute and add cumin seeds followed by red chillies.

Add Bok Choy stems along with Bell pepper and saute them for a minute.

Now add the remaining ingredients except salt and saute until all the veggie gets cooked.

Once done, remove from the flame and cool the sautéed ingredients.

Grind into fine paste by adding the required quantity of salt and water.

Transfer it to a bowl and serve.


Serving Options :

Serve with Rice, Idly and Dosa.
