Making momos chutney
- When the tomatoes become warm or cool, then slice off the top eye part of the tomato. Peel the skins from the tomatoes.
- Roughly chop or crush them and then add in a blender jar along with its juices. Or you can just crush them with your hands while adding in the blender jar.
- Also add the red chilies along with chopped garlic, black peppercorns and sichuan pepper.
- Add both sugar and salt according to taste.
- Without adding water, grind or blend to a smooth and fine consistency. If you prefer you can strain the chutney to get an even more finer consistency.
- Remove the momos chutney in a bowl and serve with veg momos or any momo recipe. You can even refrigerate the momo sauce and it stays good for 1 to 2 days in the fridge.
- Apart from veg momos, this spicy momos chutney also goes well with any pakora or fritter or patties.
Notes
- For a very spicy chutney, increase the number of red chillies.
- Skip adding sichuan pepper if you do not have it.
- To add a bit of umami, add ½ teaspoon of soy sauce to the momo sauce.
- Do not add any water while blending.
- The recipe can be halved or doubled easily.
