Mostly I used big tomato for dip/chutney; but last week I read that “New researches show that smaller darker red variety of tomatoes is more nutritious, because it has more lycopene.” That is the reason this time prepared the chutney for Momo using cherry tomatoes, you may use any tomato.

This is mostly paired with Momo (steamed dumpling) in India, but can be served as a side dish. It can be stored in refrigerator for day or two.
