Preparation

Peach-Tandoori Dip

In a blender, purée the peach with lemon juice, tandoori paste, sour cream and chives. Pour into a bowl and reserve.

Fried Cheese Curds

Heat oil on medium-high heat in a deep fryer or saucepan.

Dip cheese curds into tempura batter. Place well-coated cheese curds into hot oil and fry until golden.

Drain on paper towels and serve with the Peach-Tandoori Dip.

Tips

The oil used for frying must be very hot, 350- 375 °F (180-190 °C). Fry in small batches and keep warm in a 200 °F (100 °C) preheated oven.
