You know that a dip is the first thing to go out at a party.

I love to make different types of dips for festival gatherings and parties.

And I also love making recipes with Schezwan sauce.

Almost everyone love recipe made with schezwan sauce in Indian homes.

So in today’s appetizer recipe, I gave an Indo-Chinese twist by adding schezwan sauce, and soy sauce to the classic hot corn dip.

This schezwan corn Dip is super cheesy, packed with flavor, and such a crowd pleaser.

The dip is a combination of corn, bell pepper, onion, mayo, cream cheese, schezwan sauce, and cheese.

It’s super creamy and the cheese gets nice and gooey. The flavors have a wonderful Indo-Chinese twist.

I have made this dip at our potlucks party last year.

I topped this hot corn dip with some chopped green onion greens and then used chat papdi for dipping.

It was a huge hit at our party and was empty in no time. Everyone had gone crazy over this easy appetizer recipe!

In this dip, the corn kernels give a nice sweetness. Corn cuts through the creaminess of the cheese and also provides a slight crunch.

For the creaminess, I like to use a combination of cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. I find that this combination provides the best texture and flavor

These 3 combinations make this hot corn dip super ooey gooey and delicious, and combined with the sweet corn make this dip an absolute winner.

Do try this hot corn dip with schezwan sauce in your upcoming Diwali or new year party. People will be asking you to bring this to your next event for sure.

Ingredients required

  • Oil: Use any cooking oil of your choice. This is to sauté the vegetables.
  • Onion: Dice the onion finely, not in huge chunks
  • Red Pepper: Make sure to chop the bell pepper finely so it’s easier to dip
  • Corn: The great thing about this recipe is you can use fresh, Or frozen corn.
  • Cream Cheese: Use full-fat cream cheese. Soften your cream cheese before using.
  • Sour Cream: Add a lovely depth and creaminess. If you don’t have sour cream you can use greek yogurt or plain yogurt(curd) instead.
  • Mayo: Makes the dip creamy. I have used vegan mayo.
  • Amul Cheese: I have used Amul Cheese. The cheese can be substituted. You can use cheddar, mozzarella, pepper jack, Monterey jack cheese, or a mixture of them all.
  • Salt: To taste!
  • Green Onion: We will need green onion whites in the dip and greens to garnish.
  • Schezwan sauce: What makes this dip unique and extra flavorful is the addition of Schezwan sauce. You can use homemade or store-bought. This sauce is easily available in Indian grocery stores.
  • Other sauces: You will need dark soy sauce and red chili sauce for this recipe.
  • Vinegar: To balance the flavors.
