In a pan, add 3 tablespoons of butter and melt it.

Once the butter is melted, add minced garlic and chopped onion.

Sauté the onion until it becomes slightly soft, about 1 minute.

Add 250 ml of milk, 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder, and 1 teaspoon salt to the pan.

Bring the milk mixture to a light boil, which takes about 2 minutes.

Once boiling, add 125 grams of grated cheddar cheese.

Stir continuously until the cheese melts, which takes about 5 minutes, until the sauce is smooth.

Turn off the heat and serve the cheese dip immediately.
