Roasted red bell pepper Chutney

Redv bell pepper chutney

In my earlier posts I have shared the recipe for roasted bell pepper chutney, which has a difference.

I used tomatoes and no coconut in that recipe.

In this recipe Iam using roasted bell peppers which Iam greatly fond of by making a chutney using gram dal, roasted pepper and some coconut.

This makes a great lip smacking chutney , using coconut gives a different taste and coconut lovers will adore this chutney.

Once in a while I think this recipe can be tried even though some coconut is used.

As usual a great accompaniment for idlis, dosas and pongal. Great to mix with plain white rice and have with some papad.

I always like to make even the chutneys healthy by using more vegetables and in that this particular chutney is one of my favourites.
