Red Capsicum Chutney

I picked up this chutney on Padhu's Kitchen. If you are bored of the regular chutney varieties you could this one for a change. I tweaked the quantities just a little to suit my taste.

Ingredients

• Red Capsicum - 1 chopped
• Onion - 1/2 roughly chopped
• Tomatoes - 1 and half roughly chopped
• Ginger - 2" piece
• Garlic - 3-4 pods
• Green chilli - 2-3
• Coriander - 4 stems

Table 2

• Oil  1 tsp
• Urad dal - 1 tsp
• Red chillies - 2
• Kadala paruppu - 1 tsp
• Pottukadalai / Chana dal - 1 tsp
• Jeera/ Cumin - 1 tsp

To temper

• Oil - 1 tsp
• Mustard - 1 tsp
• Urad dal  1 tsp
• Curry leaves - 1 sprig

Preparation

• Take a small frying pan, pour a tsp of oil and when hot add all the items under table 2 one by one and fry until light brown. Set it aside.
• In the same frying pan, pour 2 teaspoons of oil and when hot add green chilli, ginger, garlic and onions and fry until light brown. Then add the tomatoes and fry for 2 minutes. Now add the Red capsicum and fry until it is soft. Switch it off and add the chopped coriander leaves. Allow it to cool.

• Grind the fried "table 2" items that you set aside into a smooth paste. Now add the capsicum mixture and salt, grind it smooth.

• Pour oil in the same pan and when hot temper it with mustard, urad dal and curry leaves. Add the tempering to the chutney.
