Note:
You can tweak this chutney into lots of variations as per your taste buds.  
Below are some variations:

01) To increase the volume of the chutney, you can add onion and tomato and fry them before adding capsicum. If you are adding tomato then reduce the tamarind quantity. Tomato itself gives tangyness to the chutney.

02) Adding garlic makes it more flavorful. Use it as per your family preference and taste buds
