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

Nice color, Love the falvor of red peppers.
We all liked the taste of it very much. I made it this morning with mushti polo. I added a little bit of jaggery (sweet tooth) Thanks for a new chutney.
Hi Shilpa, I made this chutney and it came out very well. It was a big hit! Thanks a lot. I used yellow bellpepper instead of orange.
okie i know this is going to sound like blasphemy to you but you see i have green bell peppers what do you think can i give this recipe a shot or wot?
Shilpa: Probably, you can give it a try.
I never thought that I would ever cook and that too something which is edible 😛 I tried my luck with your chutney recipe and to my surprise it was a hit with my family 😀
I just wanted to try something new this lockdown and this recipe was one of them 😀
