79) MUSTARD CHILI SAUCE

MUSTARD CHILI SAUCE

FOR DIPPING THE MOMOS

Ingredients:

     1)    Mustard seeds – 1 tablespoon

     2)    Medium hot green chilies – 6 Nos.

     3)    Hot red chili powder – 2 teaspoons

     4)    Asafoetida – 1 pinch

     5)    Salt – 2 teaspoons

     6)    Gingelly oil (sesame oil) – 2 teaspoons

     7)    Water – 125 ml.

To Make:

          Put the mustard seeds in the food processor and grind to fine powder. Add the green chilies and all the other ingredients. Grind to fine paste. Taste and add more salt or chili powder to suit your palate. If too thick, add a little water and mix well. Dip hot momos (recipe given separately) in your fresh mustard chili sauce and tuck in.

Note:

          If you like, you can incorporate tomato flavor in the sauce by adding 1 large fully ripe tomato while grinding to paste. Both the versions are equally tasty.
