Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 tablespoon Flour(maida)
- 1 cup Milk(whole milk)
- Salt to taste
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper powder
- A pinch of Nutmeg(grated)
- ½ teaspoon Oregano
- ½ teaspoon Chili Flakes
- 2 tablespoons Water/as required
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter until it begins to foam. Be careful not to let it brown.2. Once the butter is melted, add 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour to the saucepan. Stir continuously with a whisk to create a smooth paste, also known as a roux. Keep stirring for about 2-3 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.3. Slowly pour 1 cup milk into the roux while whisking constantly. This will help prevent lumps from forming. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens and reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. This should take around 5-7 minutes.4. Add salt to taste, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder, and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg (if desired) to enhance the flavor of the sauce. Nutmeg adds a subtle, warm depth to the sauce, but it can be omitted if preferred.5. Append 1/2 teaspoon oregano & 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes.6. Add 2 tablespoon water in it to adjust the consistency. Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat. If it becomes too thick, you can add a little more milk too to adjust.Your White Sauce is ready
