Little Words

• A great way of incorporating veggies for fussy little ones.
• Tastes great with idli,dosa...can also be used as spread for sandwiches,as a dip for snacks...
• I haven't used chillies as the spiciness of capsicum was enough.You can use red or green chilli as well.
• Sprinkle little water if needed to cook veggies.
• Finely chopping the veggies helps in easy cooking for the chutney.Adjust the consistency of the chutney as desired.
