The all-time favourite combo of Nacho Chips with Cheese Dip is not only energizing but also delightful to kids because they love the ‘chip-n-dip’ concept. It will be so much fun to find such an exciting option in the tiffin box that they would love to share it with their friends, so make sure you pack a little extra. You can use readymade nacho chips to save time. When making the dip, make sure you cook it for exactly the mentioned time although it might be a little thin then. We are removing it in a semi-done consistency because it is going to be packed in a box and eaten after a few hours, at which time it will be perfect! This flavourful cheese dip stays fresh in the dabba for 4 to 5 hours. Also pack some Healthy No Bake Cookies in another tiffin for a perfect short break combo.

Hi, Maize flour is the main ingredient in this recipe but if you wish you make with whole wheat flour and plain flour....

This cheese dip is so easy and quick to make it. I was very doubtful, how this would stay in a kid''s tiffin. And I was happy that the consistency of the dip stayed the same. And the kids loved it so much, as now they can carry it to school, with some yummy nachos.
