Notes and chats:

-> I tasted capsicum chutney in a get together party and i wondered, how come we can make chutney using capsicum. I asked her, she told that she used green capsicum and tomato to prepare this.
-> I found how to prepare this in Viki's kitchen and i tried my own way and it came in a different way. But it was yummy...!
-> You can also use chilli powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala instead of using red chilli, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, cloves, cinnamon stick.
-> Urad dal gives smooth texture to chutney, no matter if you don't add this.
-> Try this and post your comments. Soon I'll post the other methods to prepare this capsicum chutney.
