Red Capsicum Chutney

I had never thought of making chutneys with capsicum. This wonderful recipe was shared by my friend Shyams,when we had a talk over the phone sometime back. Initially I had a hesitation to try this as I thought that the taste might not sound so great, but I was wrong. This chutney has got a very tangy taste which goes well with idlies and dosas. I even liked it with chapathi.

Ingredients:

1 Red Capsicum/Bell Pepper washed and sliced
2 Medium size Onions sliced
3 cloves of Garlic
2-3 Tomatoes sliced
5 Red chillies
1/4 tsp Hing
A pinch of tamarind
Salt to taste
Oil as reqd

For Seasoning:
Curry leaves and Mustard seeds


Method:
