Momo chutney recipe | Momo sauce recipe | red chutney for momos

Momo chutney is a mouth-watering spicy red chutney that must serve with momos as the dipping sauce of these dumplings. Momo chutney is basically a tomato chili garlic dip is common in every street-side momos stall. Even the same dip is served with veg and nonveg momos.

Momo without momo chutney does not taste good, right? That does not mean, Momo’s taste depends on momo chutney, but surely this chutney enhances the taste of momos. Whether the momos are steamed or fried or baked must not taste wow without this momo dip. As even regular tomato ketchup will also spoil the taste of momos if you replace it with that spicy momo sauce. Don’t worry you don’t need to compromise your taste. For that, just follow my simple and easy step-by-step recipe described below.

As Tibet or Nepal is considered to be the birthplace of momos so its chutney or sauce must be their own creation I guess. That’s why I never use soya sauce or any other Chinese sauces for making this chutney. Even this chutney has some similarities with Chinese schezwan sauce, mostly for having the same spiciness.

Momos chutney is basically prepared with very simple ingredients like tomato, red chili, garlic cloves, and a little ginger. As those ingredients are easily available at every home, so it is not hard to make by following my recipe. Just spend your few minutes making it ready, and then enjoy it with veg or nonveg momos.

As you may check my Veg Momos recipe and Chicken Momos recipe to serve it with this spicy tomato chutney.

Method

  • Wash two tomatoes(weighs about 152g) and 10 dry red chilies, and make some slits on the tomatoes.
  • Then put it in a vessel with 2 cups of water(about 475 ml) and boil it.

  • While the water starts boiling then add 1 tbsp of vinegar to it. Vinegar will remove the raw smell of tomatoes and retain the red color of this momo dip.

  • After about 10 mins boil in water when the tomato skins are starting to remove then turn off the heat. 
  • Strain it immediately from the water and make it completely cool down. Once it cools down remove the tomato skin and chopped it down.

  • Then add about 1/2 cup(about 120ml) of hot water to it and stir it well. Boil it again till the sauce gets a little thickness(not at running consistency) then turn off the flame as momo chutney is ready. Serve this homemade spicy red chutney with any variety of momos.

Tips

  • When finally the sauce is ready then you may add a little salt if required.
  • Actually, I first sautéed the puree in little oil and then dry it up to remove the raw smell of spices and tomatoes. And when the raw smell goes off then boil the sauce by adding water to get the exact street style momos corner-like taste.
  • Don’t make the sauce too thick then you can not enjoy it as dipping.
