Few months before i first saw this ” Capsicum Chutney / Capsicum Thokku Recipe ” in a FB group . Hmm….. that looked intresting for me and i went ahead and bookmarked the recipe as must try. Though i make capsicum chutney..this method was quiet unique and new to me .I am glad i did try this keeper recipe . They tasted so yumm !!Everyone loved them to the core.One excellent side dish from capsicum which tastes great with anything and everything. The best part is it’s no onion – garlic , no coconut recipe. And also since no water has been added , it stays good for 3-4 days without fridge.Ideal to pack while travelling too.
I didn’t follow the exact recipe as seen in FB , but tweaked a bit which i felt would improve the dish and also would suit our family taste. Since this chutney tastes more like a pickle and has good shelf life i guess its called Capsicum Thokku . Well , what’s in a name ..call what you want.If you are looking for some new chutney variety to go along with your idli,dosa,rotti or rice ..you must try this…!!I am sure you too would love them …..

Notes
- You can use any type of capsicum .
- Grinding of capsicum smooth / coarse depends on your choice .
- In the original recipe , tamarind was not added . But i felt something missing when i made as per the original version . you can try which way you like . Also in the original recipe , methi quantity was more.
- If you want you can add little jaggery .
- Instead of red chillies you can add chilli powder too .
- Sauteing nicely in little extra oil givesthis chutney nice taste , look and also increases shelf life. So better not omit it .

Lovely chutney. I also added a few pods of garlic and saute the capsicum a bit. Turned out to be super hit
