Red capsicum chutney recipe

Red capsicum chutney recipe – bell pepper chutney recipe for idli, dosa, paratha and sandwich. Bell peppers can be used for making capsicum curry, for vegetable biryani, for vegetable stir fry, for making paneer tikka or chicken tikka and even for noodles. I prefer to use vegetables for making chutney for our breakfasts idli, dosa, sandwich or paratha. I feel it is a good way to include veggies in our diet.
