Green capsicum chutney is a simple Indian styled chutney prepared with bell peppers.
Capsicum has a lovely crunchy texture and I love adding it to curries like capsicum masala curry, potato capsicum curry or in rice dishes like mint capsicum pulao or even in capsicum raita.
As for the health benefits of capsicums, they are rich in Vitamin C and are also known to lower cholesterol.
