Dinner Quick-fix Recipe#2- Cauliflower Bake


I always love to prepare my little one's fave food.
And this is cauliflower with a twist in using the usual bechamel sauce and is really yummy, for those who love the taste of cheese.

Ingredients: Serves 2 (when accompanied with brown bread)
  1. Cauliflower- (separated into small segments), blanched, about 2 cups
  2. Onion -1/2 (very finely chopped)
  3. Parmesan Cheese -1/2 cup or Milkman/Amul cheese slices - 4
  4. Butter - 2 tablespoons
  5. Milk -2 cups
  6. Cornflour - 2 tablespoons
  7. Salt- according to taste
  8. Pepper -Freshly ground
  1. In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium-low heat until it melts. Then add the chopped onions and fry them till they are translucent.

  2. Add the blanched cauliflower.

  3. Meanwhile, heat the milk in a separate pan until just about to boil. Add the hot milk to the butter mixture 1 cup at a time, and bring to a boil.

  4. In a cup, mix the cornflour with 2 tablespoons of milk and add it to the above mixture.

  5. Cook for about 6-10 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with the grated cheese/slices.

  6. Remove from heat and put a lid on the mixture, allowing the cheese to melt.

  7. Serve with brown/white sandwich bread or layer it between buns. You can have it without the bread as well.
