About

An easy and flavourful purpose-based condiment side dish prepared to enhance the taste of steamed vegetable dumplings. Momos Chutney, also commonly known as Momos Red Sauce, is a must-have chutney that makes this street food meal a complete and tasty meal. The recipe is typically made with ripe tomatoes, garlic and other basic spices to give a bright red colour. Although it is primarily prepared as a side dish for momos, it can also be treated as a multipurpose chutney and served with various other Indian snacks. There are many different types of Momos Chutney across Indian states, but the most common way is prepared with ripe tomatoes. The texture of this tomato-based chutney can vary, ranging from smooth to thick to coarse. The other variation is to make it green in colour with green chillies and coriander leaves as the base. Further, the same chutney can also be prepared with just garlic and Kashmiri red chillies to give a rustic and rugged texture.

Notes

  • Firstly, if you are not using tomato sauce, make sure to add a little sugar to balance the tanginess.
  • Also, vinegar acts as a preservative, make sure not to skip it.
  • Additionally, after boiling the tomatoes, you can peel the skin of the tomato to get a silky smooth consistency for chutney.
  • Finally, Momo Sauce or Momos Red Chutney Recipe tastes great when prepared spicy.
