| Capsicum Chutney |
Today is the last day in Blogging marathon..Srivalli made a exiting theme for today, she paired up two bloggers who had participated in this marathon.Each one should cook a dish from the other blogger recipes..I have been paired with Usha from MySpicyKitchen.. I searched her blog and found this amazing chutney recipe.. So I decided to make that..She used red bell pepper and tomatoes in her dish,I couldn’t find that colour capsicum over here,so I used green capsicum..And I also planned to keep this chutney green so I replaced the tomatoes with tamarind. I also used some coriander leaves to brighten up the chutney..I love a little sweet taste coming from this chutney,so I added a tiny bit of sugar..At last this dish came out perfect..I enjoyed this with Dosa..This weeks marathon ends by today..From tomorrow onwards I am in another exiting theme..So keep checking it out..

Green chilli-2 chopped

very interesting recipe. I have never cooked a chutney, but I will try your
The chutney is a bright idea and the result as I see here is awesome ! Can imagine the flavour..sure you enjoyed this one!
wow, love the chutney, color and everything about it. Great replacement of tomato with tamarind for the color.
Good one. I was planning to make green capsicum chutney too for tonite's dinner ..But I don't use poppy seeds..
Thanks for trying out the recipe, Aarthi! I never tried it with green capsicum but once used both red and green capsicum. I prefer red capsicum bcz it is little sweetish in taste.
I will post my recipe from your blog by the end of the day. Just finished lunch and ur recipe was for lunch!
fyi, in your ingredient list, you listed poppy seeds instead of sesame seeds.
thanks for sharing this recipe! hugs…
