Happy New Year !!! A welcome to new beginnings and new journeys and new experiences :)) I am still trying to figure out what my new year resolution should be ..I want one that I can keep :)) One wish that I do have is to travel more to learn about new cultures and food experiences ..and like me,most of you must now be on a de-tox plan with definitely some binging after christmas and new year's ..so salads,veggies and fruits it should be ! This dish is a great side dish or a light meal (it was my lunch with a whole wheat toasted bagel ) and light as well as the white sauce was made with atta (!) and skimmed milk ,minimal cheese on the top ..but be as generous as you like with the cheese ..I used cheddar, you can use either cheddar or parmesan. Just some tips for the white sauce ..
1.turn off the gas before adding the milk so that no lumps are formed
2.always add the salt after turning off the gas so that the milk does not split
Ingredients (serves 2)
1 boiled potato,sliced
1 cup corn
1 cup broccoli florets
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt
pepper
For the white sauce
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons atta
3/4 cup skimmed milk
1/2 teaspoon sugar
For the garnishing
grated cheese
dried herbs
few chopped tomato pieces,just for the colour effect
paprika/chilli flakes
1. Pre-heat oven to 220 degrees Celcius
2. Boil the broccoli and corn in hot water till tender ,about 7-8 minutes. Drain and cool.
3. For the sauce, heat the butter on a slow flame. When slightly brown, add the atta and mix with a whisk. Turn off the gas and whisk in the cold milk. When lumps are removed, turn on the gas again and leave on a slow flame for 5-6 minutes till the sauce becomes thick (look for slow bubbles on the outer edge of the pan ). Add the sugar,pepper.Turn off the gas and add the salt.
4. Grease the bottom of the baking dish with the olive oil. Arrange the potatoes first,then top with the boiled vegetables.Sprinkle salt and pepper.
5. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and garnish with cheese etc...
6. Bake on the top rack for 15-20 minutes or till the cheese is browned. Serve hot
