Equipments

1 Sauce Pan

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

Notes

  • For best results always use whole milk as it has good consistency.
  • To make this use salted or unsalted butter can be used. Both are acceptable.
  • Make sure that sauce should not be more thick or thin. It should be in normal consistency.
