This red capsicum chutney goes great with dosa, idli, bajji, rice, and chapati. The capsicum lends a nice sweetness to it which is quite addictive. So if you are looking for a nice and easy chutney recipe without coconut, then try this and let me know how it went. To prepare this red capsicum chutney in bulk is much quicker since capsicum is not as moist as tomatoes and needs lesser time to reach the grinding consistency.
