Capsicum and Cheese Dip was totally experimental. Why this experiment? Well I had a fresh capsicum and considering they are rich in Vitamins and Minerals and my son otherwise would not have them. So,  I thought of trying this out. 

Well the addition of Cheese  in this Capsicum and Cheese Dip was only to make it luring enough for him. However I felt it goes very well with wafers or even nachos or baked chips if you are fond of along with using it in sandwiches. I used some coriander to balance the taste of Capsicum and add more green color and it worked well. So just to let you know , I had this Capsicum and Cheese Dip with plain rice and curd and just loved it!
