Capsicum Bulb Spring Onion Chutney



SpringOnionBellPepper Chutney
This is a healthy chutney which can be even used as a spread for the bread. If you plan for the weight reduction then this is the chutney you must try. Bell Pepper and Spring Onion has water content which greatly reduces the unwanted fat in your body. Continous usage of this chutney yields good result. Even Bottlegourd ( Lauki/Surrakai) reduces the fat in the stomach. But remember one thing Spring Onion is spicy. So reduce the amount of chilly which you think is required for the chutney.Remove just the tip of the Spring Onion leaves only. We need to use both the leaves and bulb of the Spring Onion in this chutney.
