Kothey Momo With Sesame Chutney

Are you not preparing momo only because you don't have a steamer? so here is good news about preparing momo without a steamer.
now stop giving excuses cause I have got no steam momo recipe.
Kothey momo is half fried and half steamed in the same pan which is made in an elongated shape. The filling can be either veg or various kinds of meat; chicken, buff and pork are mostly available. I have made veg momo,you can replace the filling with nonveg as well if you wish.

Prepare chutney-in a frying pan dry roast sesame seeds until the little brown color, transfer into a plate, and add chopped tomato, garlic, ginger, whole red chili,1 tbsp oil. saute everything well for 2-3 minutes or until tomatoes become soft.
2-add this into the grinder along with sesame seeds, salt, and grind it into a fine paste also add little water as per your preference to adjust the thickness.
