Just to Share with you…..

Last time when I went to India I had red chilli chutney for the first time.  Red chilli chutney is nothing but grinding  dry redchilli,little tamarind,salt in the stone grinder (used in villages). True taste of this lies in the tool which they are used for grinding.  After coming back to India , oneday while browsing I found a new modern version of chilli chutney . Itz nothing but Red Pepper chutney. I tried it. Itz really good but not hot like what I had in India which is made of  dry red chilli.

Red Pepper chutney

Ingredients

1. Red Capsicum - 1
2. Fresh green chilles which turned as red Chillies – 3 to 4 according to taste
3. Jaggery – Little (optional those who can’t bare the hot of capsicum can use this)
4. Salt to taste
5. Tamarind – Small lime size
6. Oil
7. Hing

For Tempering

1. Mustard Seeds
2. Urad dal
3. Curry leaves.

Preparation:

1. Chop the Capsicum and Chillies and keep aside.
2. Heat 2 tsp of Oil in a tawa and fry this Chilli pieces (both chillies) until the raw smell goes away.
3. Cool and  grind it along with Jaggery (optional), Tamarind, Salt and Hing.
4. Heat one tsp of oil and temper the Mustard Seeds, urad Dal and Curry leaves.

Tips

If you feel that chutney is having raw smell then take one tawa first temper with the ingredients then add the grinded chutney in to it and fry that for few mins.

Another Variation

• You can dry roast Urud dal and channa dal  and grind along. This will make you chutney little coarse not too fine paste. Hope Many likes chutney in coarse form.
• You can add little onion and coconut too.
