Bell Pepper Chutney
I went to San Francisco in 2008. My second cousin lives there so we visited her and went around SFO. When we went to her place, she made this red bell pepper chutney... It was very new to me but it tasted really good. Very simple recipe but it was very nice. She made bread sandwich and she used this chutney as the spread. It was so good!!! From then I have been telling all my friends and relatives about this chutney and they all loved it. It has a sweetish tinge but when we combine it with red chilli, it tastes so good...
