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.
