A sincere drooling white fantasy.
Made with white ingredients alone is an exquisite delicacy .As a kid when mom cooked this i disliked it, but not any more!!
Serves : 4
Cooking time : 30 min
Ingredients :
Cauliflower 1 cup (flowerlets )
Madia 3-4 tbsp (other name all purpose flower )
Milk 1 cup
Cheese ¼ cup(grated )
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Spices to taste (optional)
Butter 2-3 tbsp
Bread crumbs 2-3 tbsp
Method :
Wash and clean the cauliflower ,allow it to stay in salt water for few minutes.
In a pan heat butter fry the cauliflower and keep aside.
In the same pan add some more butter and slightly fry the maida on slow flame till a nice aroma comes .
Now switch off the flame and wait for it to come to room temperature. Now if there are any lumps in the flour keep stirring , it will break as it cools .When you make sure there are no lumps ,then slowly start adding milk( should not be hot ) to it. Nicely stir the mixture ,making sure you find no lumps.
Now leave it on the stove with slow flame and keep stirring it.Let the mixture slightly thicken.
Now add fried cauliflower ,cheese salt ,pepper .If you wish to add species ( oregano/ rosemary,etc )
You can add now.If you find the mixture is thick then add more milk to the consistency you want.
Keep in mind as you bake ,it will thicken a little.
Grease a glass baking tray and transfer the content to it .Smoothen on top with a spoon.
Now sprinkle bread crumbs and grated cheese .
Let it bake 15-20 min (approx. ) /till the surface browns.
Serve hot.
