Ingredients for Hot Momo Chutney

6-8 dried red chilies (adjust to heat preference)
2 medium-sized tomatoes (roughly chopped)
1 tablespoon garlic (finely chopped or minced)
1 teaspoon ginger (grated or finely chopped)
1 tablespoon vinegar (or lemon juice)
1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for balance)
Salt to taste
1/4 cup water (or as needed for consistency)
1 tablespoon oil (vegetable or sesame oil)

Method

To make the Red Hot Momo Chutney in less than 10 minutes, start by soaking the dried red chilies in hot water for about 5 minutes to soften them. While the chilies are soaking, chop the tomatoes, garlic, and ginger. Heat oil in a small pan over medium heat, then sauté the garlic and ginger for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing them to soften and release their juices.

Once the tomatoes are cooked, drain the soaked chilies and add them to the pan along with the garlic, ginger, and tomatoes. Let the mixture cool slightly, then transfer it to a blender. Add salt, sugar, and vinegar (or lemon juice), and blend the ingredients until smooth, adding water to adjust the consistency as needed.

Taste the chutney and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Once blended, transfer the chutney to a serving bowl, and it's ready to serve alongside your momos. Enjoy the spicy, tangy flavor of this quick and easy chutney!
