Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons chutney (mango or tamarind)
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons crushed toasted nuts (optional, e.g., cashews or almonds)
- crackers or veggies for serving
Instructions
Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to soften for easier mixing.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and chutney using a spatula or hand mixer until fully incorporated and smooth.
Add the green onions, cilantro, red chili flakes, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the cream cheese mixture. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute the ingredients.
If using, mix in the crushed toasted nuts for added texture and flavor.
Transfer the mixture into a serving bowl or shape it into a neat mound if desired.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled with crackers, toast, or an assortment of fresh veggies like baby carrots, celery, and cucumber slices.
