Dear Vineet The end of the recipe already has a nutritive value table which provides the values of carbs, protein, fiber and other nutrients. This recipe makes 1 cup which is about 14 tbsp and the values shared here are per tbsp, since no one person can have the entire 1 cup of this dip. You can multiply the values for the desired tablespoons.

This dip is a combination of cheese along with salsa that taste great with nacho chips. I at times put chopped garlic instead of the paste for a nice mouth feel...
