Red Bell Pepper Chutney

I had never seen red/yellow/orange bell peppers before coming to US. In India we usually use the green peppers which we call capsicum/simla mirch. It sells for heavy price too.
RED Bell Pepper have a mild, sweet flavor and crisp juicy flesh. Store unwashed bell peppers in a open container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for about a week. When making chutney you can add 1-2 chillies more than usual if you prefer spicy.

Redpepper – 1
Onion – 1
Tomato – ½
Coriander seeds – 1 tsp
