Momos Chutney, Sikkim Momos Chutney, how to prepare Sikkim's red chili dipping sauce for momos

Hi friends, how are you all ? i am back after short break with hot and fiery "momos chutney" || "Sikkim momos chutney" || "red chili dipping sauce for momos". I tasted veg momos @Bhubaneswar with this hot and spicy momos chutney. I liked chutney more than momos at first, so i tried it in my starting days of cooking. Other than momos we can also have this momos sauce with other snacks like tikki's, chaats and even with dosa's(i liked it 😋).  This chutney tastes very spicy when we have it at restaurants, so we can adjust its spicy taste at home by adding sugar so that kids too will enjoy it. This momos chutney taste spicy, sweet, tangy and pungent. We can prepare this momos chutney in many variations, red chili is the main ingredient to get spicy taste and we can also add sugar to cut down spicy, finely chopped ginger - garlic pieces in middle, for sourness we use vinegar or lemon juice and adding soya sauce adds different Chinese taste to the chutney/sauce. 

  Taking this delectable and mouth melting "Momos Chutney" to Shhhhh Secretly Cooking Challenge fb group started by Priya of Priyas Versatile Recipes and taken further till date by Mayuri she blogs at Mayuris jikoni.  Here admins will select one Indian state in alphabetical order.

We can have it with coconut chutney or with any Kara (spicy )chutney's. I had it with ripped red chilli chutney it tasted very yummy. We can have it as breakfast or as evening snack. It is very tasty and easy to prepare, we can prepare it with idli rava or by soaking and grinding rice, today I used idli rava.
