    Red Bell Pepper Tomato Chutney

    The recipe less picture post for day 2 of the marathon, I am serving red bell pepper chutney. As i mentioned yesterday, I will update the post with the recipe, once the marathon is over. Mint can be also be used in this chutney but I did not use it today. I also did not use cilantro as I had very little and I need it for my dinner preparation. This is a very lengthy post and I have 20 pictures of the preparation and 22 altogether, including the 2 pictures of the finished chutney. I hope the pictures describe clearly explain the step by step preparation of the chutney.

      Love the presentation especially that bowl. BTW, did you leave out the ingredients list on purpose?

        Yes Suma. Valli asked me to leave out ingredient list as that would make it more interesting.

      wow, amazing post and drool-worthy pictures. Love the bowl in which you served the chutney. What are those seeds that you roasted and ground? I got little confused in that.

        Are you referring to the seeds in pic 14 & 15? Those are sesame seeds. I always have a box of roasted sesame seeds in my pantry. Maybe, I should add another picture showing the step for dry roasting the seeds. I did not dry roast them yesterday, since had some in the pantry.
