Bechamel sauce is a white sauce and a common ingredient in classic Italian and French dishes. It is prepared from a roux of butter and flour to which milk is added gradually. The roux acts as a thickening agent in this recipe. It is renowned as the mother of all sauces, as it is the base for countless other sauces and can be used on its own. The classic recipe uses refined flour (maida); however, if you swap it for nutty, high-quality Aashirvaad Chakki Khapli Atta, you can enjoy this sauce on your favourite Italian dishes, like pasta and lasagna, guilt-free. Making the bechamel sauce from scratch is easy, as it needs minimal ingredients that guarantee surprising results.

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Prepare the roux

Heat a saucepan on a low flame and add butter. Once it starts melting and bubbles are forming, then add the khapli atta. Then, with a whisk, stir the flour quickly as soon as you add it. Continue stirring to avoid any lumps; this will help the khapli flour to cook evenly. When you see the flour bubbling up while stirring, sauté until it turns a pale golden colour and starts smelling nice.

FAQs

No, they are not the same. Both these white sauces have different origins, ingredients and classic uses. Alfredo is loved for its creamy, rich texture, usually paired with shrimp, pasta and chicken; however, béchamel is a versatile sauce used as a base for other sauces.
