Ingredients

2 tsp cornflour
70 g cheese - grated
70 ml milk
½ tsp turmeric - optional
½ tsp tomato puree
½ tsp garlic powder - optional

Instructions

Mix the cornflour and grated cheese, either by stirring together in a bowl or by shaking in a plastic box.
Put all the ingredients into a saucepan and heat gently on a low heat, stirring constantly.
After a couple of minutes, the dip will thicken. Serve immediately.

Notes

The turmeric and tomato puree are optional, but they do make this dip a gorgeous rich orange colour and a give a real punch that suits tortilla chips. You could add a little red chilli too, to create a Mexican feel.
Substitute some of the cheddar with mozzarella for a really stringy dip.
Leave out the garlic powder if it's not your thing. You could use a little mustard instead.
You could add curry powder for a hint of heat, resulting in a delicious cheesy curry sauce for chips.
Serve with a dollop of onion chutney for an onion cheese melting pot.
Make a double or quadruple batch and serve in a fondue pan over a low flame at a party – try using gruyère and Dijon mustard instead of the cheddar and tomato.
Reheat in the microwave on low power for 30 seconds, then in bursts of 10 seconds.
Add extra liquid to make an easy gluten free cheese sauce - perfect for pasta
