How to make Momos Chutney

Okay, let’s get right into it. You know what makes a Red Hot Momos Chutney so special? First, it’s the punchy combo of roasted tomatoes, loads of dry red chilies, and a splash of garlic (garlic’s not optional, trust me). Take your time roasting the tomatoes—I know, patience is tough when you’re hungry—makes things tastier, though.

Grab a handful (like, actually a handful) of dried red chilies. Simmer ’em in hot water to take off the intense edge, so you get all the flavor with that perfect heat. Pop those chilies, roasted tomatoes, a few cloves of fresh garlic, and a little chunk of ginger into your blender. Wild tip: a glug of vinegar won’t hurt either, brings the sharpness you get with street-style chutneys.

This is literally it. Blend until smooth or leave it a bit chunky if you like bold personality. Pour into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and a generous dash of oil on top. Warning: the house will smell like a street food carnival.

Ingredient	Spice Level	Prep Method	Extra Tip
Dry Red Chilies	Very Hot	Boil or soak	Remove seeds if you want less heat
Tomatoes	Mild	Roast or boil	Char over flame for smoky flavor
Garlic & Ginger	Pungent	Peel, rough chop	Fresh is key, don’t use paste
Vinegar/Oil	Tangy	Splash, drizzle	Adjust to taste

Expert Tips

Right, now for the little secrets nobody tells you. You do not need every spice from the market. Less is more. Just use good-quality chilies for real flavor power. If you burn the garlic (easy to do, let’s be honest), it gets bitter, so go slow and low.

I once over-blended everything and ended up with a pink, frothy mess! Oops. Pulse carefully to keep that bold chili color and get a texture worth bragging about. Also, let it sit for thirty minutes before eating (if you can hold out), the flavors get more legit.

Oh, and here’s something: If you’re short on time, swap fresh tomatoes for canned grilled ones. Not traditional, but pretty tasty, nobody will complain.

Tools and Appliances Needed

You don’t need to turn your kitchen into a science lab, promise. If you’ve got a reliable blender or a regular old mixie, that’s most of the work sorted. An iron pan or a tawa for roasting will make the world of difference—tomatoes just get a better char.

A wide ladle for stirring and a bowl for cooling, too. And don’t forget: always use glass jars for storing the chutney because that spicy oil can stain plastic (speaking from lots of experience here).
