Tips For Making
- Want that extra spicy kick from the chutney? Add more red chilies. If you can’t handle too much heat or making the chutney for kids, reduce the quantity accordingly and also deseed the chilies.
- Want a thicker chutney? Add a few blanched almonds while blending. This will alter the taste a bit, but it is going to be a nice, nutty flavor in the chutney. Make sure the nuts are not rancid or old.
- If the tomatoes are too tart, adjust the quantity of sugar accordingly. Alternatively, you can skip adding sugar too.
- For leftover Momos Chutney, put it in an airtight container/box and refrigerate. Just make sure to consume within 1 to 2 days.
- The tomatoes and dried red chilies are boiled for a smoother blending process. If you don’t want to boil, you can soak them too in hot water, for a good amount of time.
