Tips for Perfect Momos Chutney:

• Adjust the Spice Level: If you prefer a milder chutney, reduce the number of red chilies or deseed them before boiling.
• Tangy Flavor: Add vinegar or lemon juice to enhance the tanginess and freshness of the chutney.
• Consistency: Cook the chutney until it thickens slightly for a perfect dipping sauce consistency.

Presentation Tips:

• Serve the momos chutney in a small bowl alongside a platter of momos.
• Garnish with a few chopped coriander leaves for a fresh and vibrant touch.
