Peanut capsicum chutney | Red capsicum chutney for idli, dosa

By swasthi , on June 2, 2019, 22 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Peanut capsicum chutney for idli, dosa, pesarattu, pongal, paratha or any south Indian breakfasts. This chutney can be prepared with green or red capsicums or a mix of these both. Capsicums are well known for their high antioxidants. I prefer to use the red capsicum as they are high in vitamin c too. Added to any dish they enhance the color, taste and flavor.

Peanut capsicum chutney can be made in so many ways. Earlier I had shared a green capsicum chutney and a red capsicum chutney. Today’s capsicum chutney is made using peanuts. It tastes great and has a nutty taste.

    Would love to try, after all chutneys are our fav. And sometimes I just don&#39;t have any idea on what sort chutney to make, the usual of mango and tomato can get boring. Never made before but its really interesting and must be done at home.
