Ingredients Required & Subsitutes
Corn: 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, Indian Green Chili are also a perfect fit for this dip recipe.
Herbs: Fresh Coriander, Cilantro, Green Onion, Parsley. Basil, Chives – the choices are endless.
Seasoning: Butter, Garlic, Chilli Powder, Lime Juice, Salt, Pepper

- 1/4 Cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoon plain mayonnaiseÂ
- 1/4 Cup green onion, finely 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.
