Tomato Cilantro Chutney Cheese Dip

Eric had a workplace Christmas party today and his friend Avishek brought this great curry cheese dip stuff, so I made Eric get the recipe. Yum!

- Very finely chop and saute one yellow onion in ghee till golden brown.
- Add 3 cloves of finely diced garlic.
- Add 1 teaspoon of cumin powder, 3 to 4 tablespoon of garam masala (depending on the potency) and 1 teaspoon of ground up chilli powder.
- Add 5 chopped tomatoes and saute till soft. If the masala has stuck to the bottom of the pan, use a few tablespoon of water to dissolve the masala out.
- Puree the mixture with a handful of cilantro leaves, and 2 tablespoon of lemon juice.
- Break about 24 oz of cream cheese and beat it in with puree with a whisk until its all mixed in uniformly and is fluffy.
- Add salt according to taste and beat some more. And its done.

P.S. Eric brought jam-in-the-middle muffins with Glynne and Akiko's jam from Oregon. They turned out pretty nice, I should have him blog them sometime soon.
