The combination of garlic with capsicum keep up good health and taste. Garlic especially is very good for managing high cholesterol levels, prevents the common cold and flu and is a natural antibiotic with blood cleansing properties. 
Capsicum stimulates stomach secretions and improves digestion; it's good for diabetics, promotes cardiovascular health by helping lower blood pressure, speeds up the metabolism to burn more calories, and has anti-inflammatory properties. 
Thus a combination of these two to make a chutney for dosa or a spread on bread at  breakfast.
