Also, we are using the most versatile capsicum as the main ingredient in this. I have not used tomato in this chutney recipe.
We get tri-color capsicum in one pack in the market. I mostly use the green capsicum sambar and most of the North Indian gravies. The red capsicum, I make chutney or dip as it gives a nice taste to it.
