Red Chutney Red sauce for momos
If you're looking for a recipe for red chutney that's generally served with momos, here's a simple recipe you can follow.
Ingredients
- 10-12 dried red chilies adjust to your spice preference
- - 4 cloves of garlic
- - 1-inch piece of ginger peeled
- - 1 tablespoon vinegar
- - 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- - Salt to taste
- - Water as needed
Instructions
- Soak the Dried Chilies: Start by soaking the dried red chilies in warm water for about 20-30 minutes or until they become soft and pliable.
- Prepare the Chilies: After soaking, remove the stems and seeds from the chilies if you want the chutney to be less spicy. Leaving some seeds will make it spicier.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, add the soaked chilies, garlic cloves, peeled ginger, vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Blend until you get a smooth paste. If the chutney is too thick, you can add a little water to achieve the desired consistency.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the chutney and adjust the salt, sugar, and vinegar according to your preference. You can make it more tangy with extra vinegar or balance the heat with a bit more sugar.
- Store: Transfer the red chutney to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It can last for several weeks when refrigerated.
- Serve: This red chutney is an excellent accompaniment for momos, dumplings, or other snacks. Serve it on the side and enjoy the spicy kick!
Notes
Remember to adjust the spice level by using more or fewer dried chilies, and wear gloves or wash your hands thoroughly after handling the chilies to avoid irritation. Enjoy your homemade Momos red chutney!
