I have been trying different chutneys with dosas and idlis apart from my usual chutneys. This recipe is derived from Indira’s bellpepper chutney. I changed it to suit to our taste. We love ginger chutney, and I have developed a habit of using lot of ginger in my cooking these days. So that is what I followed for this chutney too. We love the mild taste of this one.

Ingredients:
1 orange bellpepper(capsicum)
2 tbl spn chana dal
1/2 tea spn chopped ginger
5-6 curry leaves
3 red chillies
A pinch asafoetida
1/4 tea spn tamarind extract
Oil
Salt

Method:
Heat oil and add chana dal. When they are fried, add curry leaves, red chillies, chopped bellpepper. Add very little water and let it cook. Grind this with ginger, tamarind, salt(do not add too much water).

Preparation time : 20mins
