Momo Chutney

No plate of momo is complete without momo chutney. In Nepal it's called momo ko achar, and it's the tangy, savory, lightly spiced sauce that turns a good dumpling into a great one. At Curry Gate, we serve it the way it's enjoyed in Nepali homes and street stalls. It's bright, bold and full of flavor, and made to be dipped, drizzled or spooned right over your momo.

Traditional momo chutney is built on roasted tomatoes, blended with toasted sesame, garlic, ginger and chili. It's finished with Nepali spices that give it a warm, slightly smoky depth. The result is a sauce that is tangy, nutty and savory all at once. It cuts through the richness of steamed or fried dumplings and makes every bite taste fresh. It's one of the signature flavors of Nepali food, and one of the reasons momo has become a favorite across Charlotte.

Pair it with our steamed chicken momo, veggie momo, fried momo, or chili momo. Many guests also use it as a dip for samosas, pakoras, or even a side of naan. If you love dumplings, you'll want extra.

Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch in Uptown, a casual dinner in South End, or takeout near NoDa, Curry Gate brings authentic Indian and Nepali flavors to Charlotte, NC. Order online for pickup or delivery, and add an extra side of momo chutney.
