Red Bell Pepper Chutney
Red Bell Pepper Chutney is a simple and yummy dish. You can serve it with white rice and papad or chappathi or idli/dosa. You can also serve it with toasted bread. Once I had it in my friend’s place and I loved it. From then I have been wanting to make it and finally made it. It came out well and here I am sharing it with you…
Preparation time: 30 mins
No. of Servings: 4-5
Spice level: 3.5 out of 5
Ingredients:
- Red Bell Pepper – 2
- Garlic cloves – 5
- Long dried red chilies – 3
- Black pepper corns – 1/4 tsp
- Chopped onions – 1/2 cup (optional)
- Curry leaves – 2 strings
- Urad dal or split white lentils – 1 tsp
- Mustard seeds – 1 tsp
- Whole tamarind – 1 tbsp
- Sesame oil – 4 tbsp
Method of Preparation:
- Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan and add urad dal followed by dried red chillies, garlic, pepper corns and half the curry leaves.
- In this stage you can add onions if you want and sauté. I did not add onions.
- Now add the cut bell peppers and sauté.
- Now add tamarind and allow the bell peppers to cook.
- Remove from heat and cool. Grind it to a paste.
- In the same pan, heat the rest of the oil and add mustard seeds.
- Once they splutter, add the remaining curry leaves followed by the paste.
- Heat the mixture until it becomes a thick paste.
Serve the chutney with white rice or idly/dosa or chappathi or toasted bread.
