This makes a perfect side dish if you're holding a party at home. Goes well with toasted and buttered garlic bread. But if I'm not i the mood to make chapatti's then this is what I make for dinner and my husband simply loves it. Making the White Sauce is the only tricky part. Once you get that right, nothing can possibly ruin your dish, because it's that simple to make.
You can also add sausages or fried salami and bacon bits if you fancy it.
Ingredients for white sauce
1 cup all purpose flour/maida
4-5 tbsp butter
1 - 1 1/2 cup Milk
salt and pepper
To be fried in butter:
2 tbsp butter
1 cup sweet corn
1 cup mushroom, sliced
Garnish:
4 tbsp cheese, grated
Procedure
- In a pan melt the butter slightly and add the flour
- Fry nicely on a medium heat, till there is a nice aroma, and the flour changes colour slightly
- Now turn off the heat and keep the pan aside
- In another pan again melt the butter slightly and add the corn
- Fry for about five minutes, then take out the corn
- Next fry the mushrooms for another five minutes
- By now the maida and butter mixture would have cooled down sufficiently
- Add a little bit of milk and start blending it in nicely
- Keep adding the milk gradually utill it forms a thick sauce
- Make sure that you remove all lumps from the sauce
- You can add more or less milk according the consistency of the sauce, which should slighty thick, but of free falling consistency
- Now put it back on a low flame.
- Add salt and pepper and stir it continuously for about five minutes (if the flame is too high, it will start forming into lumps)
- Turn off the heat and add the corn and mushroom to the sauce
- Now transfer the contents to a microwaveable container, grate some cheese over it and bake for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese has melted
Serve hot with garlic bread
Happy cooking!
