Caramelised Onion Dip

The crazy summer is here ! Beat the heat with cool summer salads and dips - I am always on the lookout for new dip recipes. A dip is so versatile and can help you whip up a meal so quickly! With pita or as a sandwich filling or a salad dressing, the uses are plenty . This recipe uses cream cheese but you can omit it totally for a lighter version or maybe just add a spoonful of regular cheese spread instead.

Ingredients (make a a medium bowl)
1 cup hung hurd
1/2 cup cream cheese (optional)
1 large onions, finely sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 teaspoon brown sugar
Salt
Pepper
Mint/Coriander leaves (for garnish)

1. Heat the olive oil. Fry the onions on medium heat till dark brown in colour (like the color of onions used for biryani)

2. When brown, add the sugar and fry again for a minute. Turn off the gas and cool.

3. Mix the onions with all other ingredients (save a little for garnish). Garnish with chopped mint and serve chilled.
