I learnt this recipe from one of my friends and tried it at home a bit hesitantly. To my surprise it came out well and my folks loved it. Capsicum chutney goes very well with dosa and idly. You can try this recipe with any coloured capsicum but I used red capsicum to get a nice bright colour.
Ingredients Serves - 4
- Chopped capsicum - 1 cup
- Chopped onion - 1 cup
- Roasted peanuts - 1/4 cup
- Red chilli - 2 nos
- Tamarind juice - 2 tbsp
- Jaggery - 2 tsp (optional)
- Oil - 1 tbsp
- Salt to taste
Method
- Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan and fry onion, capsicum and red chilli
- Saute well until capsicum is well cooked
- Allow it to cool and grind into a smooth paste along with tamarind juice, jaggery, salt and roasted peanuts
- Serve with Idly or dosa
Tip - You can use roasted bengal gram dhal instead of peanuts.
