Pineapple Capsicum Chutney

Pineapple Capsicum Chutney..The name itself sounds quite different ryt? Capsicum chutney is a common recipe and u might be familiar with it, but adding pineapple with it is something uncommon..I experimented it with some leftover pineapple pieces and leftover capsicum, and the experimentation with the combined leftovers was successful..Since pineapple is added, u can feel the sweetness and sour taste along with the spiciness given by the other ingredients..You can have it with Idli, Dosa, Bread, Chapati etc..Especially kids will lov it..For elders, u can add more spiciness as required..A must try recipe with pineapples..

NOTE:

------------

1. You can improvise this basic recipe with your choice of ingredients. For eg, adding different dal while tempering, adding green chilli/garlic/curry leaves/coriander leaves while grinding etc etc.

2. Adjust spiciness as per your taste.

3. I used only the center stem part of the pineapple, since it is less sweet compared to the fleshy parts. You can use any part, in that case adjust spiciness according to their sweetness.
