Baked Spinach Corn In White Sauce

Ingredients
- 1 Cup Spinach 250 g Chopped
- 1 Cup Corns 250 g
- 1 tsp Garlic Crushed
- 1/2 Onion Chopped Finely
- 100 gm Cheese Mozzarella
For White Sauce
- 1/4 tsp Olive Oil
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Wheat Flour Atta
- 1 Cup Milk at room temperature
- Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- pinch Nutmeg Jaiphal
Instructions
- Put oil and butter in a heated pan. (Butter, when added directly, tends to burn, hence added to oil)When butter melts, add wheat flour.
- Stirring continuously, cook on medium flame for a minute or so, It should be like a roux (paste). If the mix is even little crumbled, add little more butter. While cooking it will be frothy, keep stirring.
- When the colour of the flour changes a little, also you can feel the aroma coming out of it then switch off the flame.
- Pour little milk with one hand and keep stirring with the other hand. You have to be quick otherwise lumps may form.(Always add milk in batches)
- When mixed homogenously, again pour some more milk repeating the act of stirring. It will be a smooth paste.
- Lastly, put the remaining milk. Mix nicely.
- It will be very liquidy at this stage. Cook this liquidy mixture on medium flame.
- Soon it will start thickening. After about 5 to 6 minutes, when it coats the back of the spoon and you get the desired sauce-like consistency, then switch off the flame.
- Add salt, pepper and nutmeg. Use as desired. White sauce is ready. Keep it aside and we will use it for making Baked Spinach Corn in White Sauce
- In a pan, heat olive oil. Put crushed garlic and chopped onion. Saute until light brown.
- Add chopped spinach to it and cook on medium flame.
- Cook till all the water evaporates and it becomes almost dry. This serves the dual purpose, the spinach gets cooked and all the water is evaporated.
- Add this spinach to the white sauce.
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees for 10 minutes.
- Add boiled corns.
- Mix properly and adjust seasoning, if required.
- Transfer it to a baking dish.
- Sprinkle grated cheese over it.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 7 minutes or till cheese melts and gets a little brown
- Serve with love and bread of your choice, preferably garlic bread.
- In the absence of oven, add cheese to the spinach corn mix in the pan only. Mix and cook for 2 to 3 minutes till cheese melts and mixes in it.
Notes
- Clean spinach, take off thick stalks and wilted leaves. Wash it thoroughly in running water. Chop it very finely. 1/2 kg of spinach gives about 250 g of cleaned and chopped spinach.
- Squeeze out excess water in the chopped spinach by pressing between your palms. This saves your cooking time.
- While cooking, ensure that the spinach dries up otherwise when transferred to white sauce it will be watery.
- I have added salt only to the white sauce. Keep salt on the lower side only as cheese too has salt.
- Use any cheese that melts easily, mozzarella or cheese slices.
- You may adjust the quantity of corn and cheese as per your liking.
