Ingredients You’ll Need
- Sweet Corn Kernels are the hero of this dip recipe. You can use fresh or frozen corn kernels. I always prefer fresh ones over frozen ones for a more natural sweet taste.
- Creaminess: The trilogy of cream cheese, mayonnaise, and grated cheese give the perfect creaminess to the dip. You can use sour cream also instead of cream cheese.
- Spiciness: The chili peppers and the red chili flakes perfectly balance out the sweetness of the corn. Jalapeno, Serano Chilies, and Indian Green Chili are also a perfect fit for this dip recipe.
- Herbs: Fresh Coriander, Cilantro, Green Onion, Parsley. Basil, Chives.

- Salt & Pepper
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder or paprika
- ¼ Cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoon plain mayonnaise
- ¼ Cup green onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoon fresh coriander, chopped

Instructions
- Cut the corn kernels off the cob. Collect the corn kernels in a bowl. If you are using frozen corn, skip this step and thaw the corn kernels.
- Heat butter in a frying pan. Add garlic and chopped chilli. Saute for less than a minute to infuse the flavor of the garlic and chili into butter. No need to brown the garlic.
- Add corn kernels, spices, salt, and stir fry for 5 – 6 minutes or till corn kernels are tender. Turn off the heat.
- Transfer hot sauteed corn to a bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix. The heat of corn will melt the cheese.

Recipe Notes:
- You can use fresh or frozen corn kernels.
- Feel free to use sour cream instead of cream cheese.
- Make sure the corn kernels are piping hot while mixing the cheese. Else, the dip will not have a creamy mouth feel.
