SPICY CHUTNEY / CHILI PASTE RECIPE 

Now we will show you how to make Chili Paste or the spicy Chutney for Momos.

1. We need to use dry Red Chilies. Which has a nice bright color but is less in spice. Take the Chili and remove the stem from it. If you want it spicier than don't take out the seeds from it. 

 

2. Put this in a pan, add a roughly chopped Onion into this. Now we'll add water into this. And we'll boil it. Cover it up and boil this for about half an hour so that the Chilies get tender. This has boiled nicely. Remember when you are making this at home Open up the windows, doors, and exhaust of the kitchen. The water has almost dried. At this stage, we'll turn off the gas. 

 

 

 3. Let it cool down a bit and then blend it. These cooled Chilies will go in the blender jar. We can add very little oil to this so that it grinds easily. Do not grind it completely keep it a bit coarse.

 

 

4. Take a pan. Put some oil in it and now we roast the Chili paste. Oil is hot, we add chopped Ginger in it and chopped Garlic. Quick stir. It is starting to brown. At this stage, we add our Chili paste to it. We need to roast it nicely so that the rawness of Chilies is removed.

 

 

5. Into this, we'll add a little Vinegar. Very little Soya Sauce. Salt to taste. And very little Sugar. Now it will be nicely roasted. For about 10-12 minutes on high flame. It has roasted nicely. At this stage, we turn off the gas.

 

 

6. Now we add Chinese Sesame Oil. This is an optional ingredient If you don't have it, that is perfectly fine. At the same time, we add a little Tomato Ketchup So that the Chutney gets a body. Our Chili Paste or The Chlli sauce you get with Momos is ready. You can serve it with hot momos, it tastes very good...
