      No, this chutney has to be prepared with red capsicum. If you use green capsicum, it will be give a totally different taste.

    Hi Padhu,
    I had never entered the kitchen until I landed in US before 25 years and I am a down south brought up in Agraharam. As I am a vegetarian, I purchased some cook books and begin to learn cooking. At some point in time I begin to search online and I stumped upon your blogs and recipes and I have to appreciate your patience and passion for cooking. Cooking in not an art but fine art. Thanks for all your postings and I really love them and most of them are coming out fantastic except if I commit a mistake as a overlook.
