This dip serves 20 people, provided there are other appetizers served at a party. You can double or half the recipe as needed.
Possible substitutes.
Use your preferred frozen corn variety and brand. It should be 2.5-3 cups corn.
Use fresh green chilies instead of jarred. Not that fresh one will be spicier. So, adjust the quantity accordingly.
Swap mozzarella with Amul cheese or white cheddar.
If pav bhaji masala is unavailable, add half the quantity of garam masala.
If you are not using heavy cream then don’t use tomato puree as well.
