I'm a big fan of capsicum I just love the flavour of it.I add capsicum to most of my dish in fact to many dishes when I make north Indian food.When I made this chutney for the first time I was very skeptical my mom told me I must give it a try she made it in 3 varieties but this one I liked the best.I usually make this one little spicy and add raw oil on top of it while eating but its up to us either way mixed with oil or raw it taste simple amazing.
