2 large packages cream cheese, softened

Zest from one orange
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup mango chutney
2-3 tablespoons garam masala or curry powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Pinch red pepper (or to taste)

Recipe
We tried this Christmas 2000. It has a nice sweet, slightly hot flavor. The next time I make it, I'll either add more chutney or perhaps some orange marmalade.
The recipe makes a large amount. Next time I'll halve the recipe.
