Wonderful flavor. I kept adding a little more curry, tasting and adding just a bit more. I probably only got to about 3/4 tsp and decided that was enough tweaking for the first try. Next time, I'll go to a full tsp. I will caution that the dip was gritty right out of the food processor, but I let it age overnight and all the gritty was gone the next day. Aging lets the flavors blend better anyway.

Like me, VERY unusual, TRUE! This was a very huge hit at our party too! I too used more garlic, was personal taste for me! Thank you for this absolutely LOVELY recipe!

This one's part of my permanent party dip rotation now! I really liked the thick, creamy consistency....you can get more dip than chip that way! I wasn't sure about the curry....never have been a huge fan, but it blended beautifully with the other herbs. The cream cheese and cottage cheese also helped 'tone down' the feta (another flavor I'm sometimes a little unsure about!). I used extra garlic as this first one was just for me and my BF....and our motto is, "there's no such thing as too much garlic"! To take to a party I will defer to the recipe and keep it at 1-2 cloves. Also looking forward to using some of the leftover dip as a spread for a roast beef or lamb wrap!!! Yummy! Thanks for sharing.

I'm taking this flavourful dip soon for Friday night drinks. I think the crowd will go wild. It was so easy to make -- made in just over 5 minutes. I added 2 tablespoons of milk to thin it to dip consistency, but made no other changes. Yummo!
