Dips are a great way to introduce food at a party. Add some pitta breads and crudités to a large platter with a selection of dips and you have a quick, inexpensive starter. This dip is silky smooth but bites back with subtle warmth from the chilli. It can also be served warm as an accompaniment to chicken, fish and steak. Better still, once made transfer it to a oven proof dish and top with grated strong cheddar cheese and pop under the grill for 10mins until golden and melted.
