Red capsicum chutney is an amazingly simple, quick and tasty dish. It is easy to whip up, and the taste never fails to please.Whenever I come across luscious red tomatoes and capsicums in the market, I make this chutney

Red chillies 6 or 7 as your taste
Asoefotida 1/2 teaspoon
Mustard seed 1 spoon
Tamarind 1 spoon

Oil 5 teaspoon

1. First heat the pan, add 5 teaspoons of oil. Then add a handful of mustard seeds, red chillies, a dash of asoefotida and urad dal and fry until the urad dal turns light brown in color.
   
2. Cut the capsicum and tomatoes into small pieces.Add the vegetables to the pan,and fry till the the vegetables become soft. Continue frying till the excess water from the vegetables get absorbed.
   
3. Add a piece of dry tamarind and salt, to the above mixture. Grind it to a smooth paste, once the mixture cools.

This chutney tastes delicious,hot and spicy, whether eaten with rice, dosa ,idly ,pongal, or as an accompaniment to curd rice. I love this chutney with a hot scoop of rice,and some gingelly oil. And the best part of it all, is that it keeps for a few days,and the taste remains just as great.
