Instructions

Preparation
    Cup of Yum
  1. Rinse the tomatoes first for a couple of times in water. Break the dry red chillies and remove the seeds. Rinse them in water.
  2. Heat 3 cups water in a pan and let it come to a boil.
  3. When the water comes to a boil, then add the tomatoes, dry red chilies in it. Boil the tomatoes on a medium heat.
  4. Cook them uncovered for a total of 8 to 9 minutes.
  5. When the tomatoes have cooked and softened, carefully drain the water using a strainer. Let the tomatoes and red chilies cool at room temperature.
Making momos chutney
  1. When the tomatoes become warm or cool, then slice off the top eye part of the tomato. Peel the skins from the tomatoes.
  2. 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.
  3. Also add the red chilies along with chopped garlic, black peppercorns and sichuan pepper.
  4. Add both sugar and salt according to taste.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
