Chili Salsa Dip or Sauce

It is a myth that only children and teenagers are in love with chips/wafers/any fried snacks. But I believe we all know the fact. Actually we all love them ALL equally. At least I look for excuses to grab a packet whenever I visit super markets. Yeah I know I shouldn’t but what to do. I’m a big heartened person. How can I disobey them when they are calling me so romantically? (eeewwwww but it’s true. Only I can hear them I guess :P)

Instead of so many objections I relish them all the time. Once I asked few of my friends who ain’t big fan of chips, regarding the reason behind their dislike, and what I gathered was they get bored with the flavors very easily and few simply doesn’t like the taste. So I just thought why not make this little worthy and tasty.

This chili salsa dip is a Mexican style dip which can be paired with anything. Be it chips, fries, lentils even as toppings on biscuits, crackers and toasts. This dip has become so close friend of my fridge that you can always find even a small bowl of it in the fridge:P.
