White Sauce

White sauce also known as Bechamel sauce. It has many uses. I use mostly for soup and veg salad. Paring with vegetables makes it into a creamy casserole. It can also be used in pizzas as one of the topping. Spicing it with chili or pepper gives you a indian cuisine touch. This is one basic ingredient for soup. Yes you guessed it right, my next recipe is soup. As a preparatory step here is the sauce.



This gives thickness to the soup and also a good flavor. This sauce can also be stored for maximum  a week. Lets do it..


Ingredients:

Butter - 2 tbsp
All purpose flour - 2 cup (maida)
1 cup warm milk
Salt - 1/4 tsp
Pepper powder - 1/2 tsp


Method:

1) In a pan melt the butter, stir in the flour.

2) Mis well so that flour does not stick to the pan.

3) Add warm milk little by little. Mix constantly.

4) Once you add all the milk mix well until a smooth paste in medium heat.

5) Add salt, pepper and cook until thickened and bubbly.

6) Once you get a thick paste remove from heat. Let it cool.

7) Transfer to airtight container and store.

Notes:

1) Mix well with milk so that no lumps in sauce.

2) Make sure you cook in medium heat or even in simmer for who do it for the first time to get smooth paste.

3) Along with pepper you can also add oregano powder, basil powder or cilantro powder of your interest.
