I have tasted this chutney very first time in my friend Sowmya's home where we gathered for Diwali celebration. It was very new to me and I did not know what chutney it was! She told me that she made it with bell pepper and wow....it was delicious. Awesome Sowmya :-) I thought of asking her about the recipe but totally forgot. I did put the name in my To-Do list so that I won't forget :-) We went to my sister Puvi's home for a vacation and she made it for dosa. It was too good Puvi :-) After we came from the vacation I made this scrumptious chutney for dosa and wow.....Now I can make it often :-) I used red bell pepper and it can be made with green, yellow or orange too. I did not add any red chilli and for more spice you can add red chillies or green chillies. We just loved it and it goes well idly and dosa.
