Red Capsicum Chutney | Bell Pepper Chutney | Kudai Milagai Chutney

Red Capsicum Chutney!! Capsicums are beautiful colored fruits.The stronger the color of the capsicum ,the higher the concentration level of anti-oxidants.A small capsicum could provide up to three times more of the recommended daily amount of Vitamin C,much more than any citrus fruits.And each color of capsicum have different nutrients. 

I love red capsicum chutney than green ,bcoz the red one have a fruity flavour and almost taste like a tangy tomato chutney.you can also do the same with other colors too.This chutney goes well with all tiffin item(dosa,idli,idiyapa,uthapam.....).
