This was VERY good. However; I did not use the full 3 TBS of cumin, it seemed like too much for the quantity of dip this made. I added it a bit at a time and tasted as I went, I ended up using approximately 1.5 TBS

Absolutely brilliant!! This was so easy to put together and the flavour was just fantastic. I sent half of it over to my son and DIL's for the weekend and they also loved it. Very different to any other dip we've had before and I'm sure it'll be made over and over again. I did change 2 things. I only added 2 tablespoons of cumin as it's a spice that we don't really use. I thought the flavour was just perfect for us with this amount. I also found that I only needed to use half the quantity of corn. Made this for the Aussie/NZ Oct 2008 Swap.
