2. Meanwhile boil Tomatoes and red chilli with 1.5 cups water until tomato skin starts to peel. Drain water and Allow it to come to room temperature
3. Peel off the skin and grind it with red chilli and rest of the ingredients mentioned under chutney list. I like it spicy so I used 5-6 chilli, you can use less. I used almonds as thickener, you can skip it if required. Now grind it well , the Momo chutney is ready
4. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan, add ginger garlic paste and saute it until raw aroma goes away. Add all the veggies mentioned under Momo stuffing. Mix it well , cover and cook it for 6-7 minutes until tender.

6. Now make medium sized puris, it should be thin. Slightly thick atcentre but thin at edges. Nevertheless thin puris. take a small amount of filling, place it in centre. Pinch sides from one side, raise front part up with right thumb.
7. make 1-2 creases with right index on back part.Shift thumb a little raise the front again, make creases on back part with right index. Keep pushing the stuffing with left thumb. Now continue and finally seal it completely.this is half moon shaped momos, there are 7-8 ways of shaping momos simplest way is karanji or gujiya way
8. Seal the edges. Keep momos covered while making to prevent it from drying
9. Once dough is completed, heat oil in a wok, slowly add momos and deep fry until golden brown. Don't overcrowd the wok. Drain excess oil.Serve hot with Momo chutney
