YIELD Makes about 20 servings
See Cooking Videos
The subtle flavors of chutney, garlic, curry, coriander and ginger provide an Indian flair to this low fat, creamy cheese spread. Since ginger contributes heat as well as flavor to this appetizer, adjust the ground ginger according to your own taste.

| 1 | cup (4 ounces) shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese |
| 1/2 | cup mango chutney |

| 3 | tablespoons dark raisins, chopped |
| 2 | cloves garlic, minced |
| 1 | to 1-1/2 teaspoons curry powder |
| 3/4 | teaspoon ground coriander |
| 1/2 | to 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger |
| 1 | tablespoon chopped dry-roasted peanuts |
PREPARATION:
