Classic Cheese Sauce

Ingredients 

• 1 tbs butter (I prefer home made white butter for its lovely taste and colour)
• 1/2 tbs maida
• 1 cup milk
• 1 - 1 and half cube grated cheese
• Pinch of salt
• Mixed herbs (U can use carrom seeds/ajwain too )

Method

• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan/frypan and add the Maida. 
• Cook, stirring, for 1 minute over medium-low heat.
• Once it becomes paste like, slowly add the milk, stirring until smooth. (Do not add entire milk at one go!)
• Stir gently until the mixture comes just to the boil., then reduce heat and add the grated cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
• Add very little salt to this mixture.
• Sprinkle mixed herbs or just plain ajwain on the sauce.

Uses

This sauce can be used as pasta sauce. It can also serve as a dip for french fries and potato chips and garlic bread.
