Cheese and Carrot Dip
by Tarla Dalal
Cheese and Carrot Dip is a creamy accompaniment for cream cracker biscuits, cucumber strips or carrot strips. You will be surprised to know that only a small quantity of cheese is used in this dip. When it combines with sweet, juicy carrots, cream, curds and milk, the outcome is heavenly. And what a difference the addition of green chillies, onions and capsicum makes to this creamy dip! The resulting flavour and texture is just awesome.
