Ingredients | Cauliflower Recipes Kerala Style

1 head cauliflower, broken into florets

¼ cup butter

¼ cup all-purpose flour

1 ⅔ cups milk

3 ½ ounces grated sharp Cheddar cheese

salt and ground white pepper to taste

Directions

Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower; cover the saucepan with a lid and steam cauliflower until tender, 10 to 12 minutes.

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Whisk flour into melted butter; cook, stirring constantly until raw flour taste cooks off and mixture darkens, 3 to 4 minutes.

Gradually whisk milk into butter mixture; cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens, about 8 minutes. Remove pot from heat; stir in Cheddar cheese. Season sauce with salt and white pepper.

Stir steamed cauliflower into cheese sauce; season with salt and white pepper.

For a richer dish, replace 2 tablespoons of the milk with heavy whipping cream. Breadcrumbs mixed with more grated cheese put on top of the dish and grilled until crispy makes this more of a treat.
