How to Make It — Step by Step
Prep Tomatoes
Score 4 slits on each tomato and remove the stem. Boil in 2 cups water for 10 minutes until soft.
Soak Chilies
Remove heads of dry red chilies. Soak in 1.5 cups hot boiling water for 30 minutes until softened.
Grind to Paste
Add boiled tomatoes, soaked chilies, garlic, sugar, salt and black pepper to a blender. Grind to a smooth fine paste.
Adjust and Taste
Taste the chutney and adjust salt or sugar as needed to balance the heat and tanginess.
Serve
Your delicious momos chutney is ready. Serve fresh alongside hot steamed or fried momos.
Tips for the Best Result
Make sure you soak the dry red chilies in hot boiling water for a full 30 minutes so they soften completely and blend into a smooth, lump-free paste.
For a milder chutney, remove the seeds from the dry red chilies before soaking. For extra heat, add one or two more chilies to the blender.
Grind the mixture in intervals and scrape down the sides of the blender jar to ensure you get a fine, restaurant-style chutney with no chunky bits.
How to Store
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, but dry red chilies give a deeper, smokier flavour that is more authentic for momos chutney.
You can reduce it, but sugar balances the heat and acidity of the tomatoes, so it is recommended to keep at least a little.
No, the skin slips off naturally after boiling and blends right into the paste without any issues.
It tastes great with dumplings, samosas, pakoras, or even as a spicy dip for crackers and chips.
