Ingredients Serving: 2

Mixed vegetables - 3 cups
Black pepper powder – 1 tsp
Red chili flakes - 1 tsp
Cheese, grated - 1/2 cup (optional)
Onion, chopped - 1/2 cup
Green capsicum, chopped - 1/2 cup
Garlic, grated - 1 tsp
Olive oil - 1.5 tbs
Whole wheat flour - 1 tbs
Milk - 1 1/4 cup
Salt to taste

Instructions

Steam mixed vegetables in a steamer for a few minutes (vegetables should have a bite to them). Alternatively, you can also blanch these vegetables for a few minutes in boiling hot water. I used peas, cauliflower, carrots and beans.
In a pan, add olive oil, garlic and sauté for a few seconds.
Add onions, capsicum and cook until translucent. In the meanwhile, heat milk in another pot (or microwave it for 40 seconds).
Now add the whole wheat flour and mix till the raw smell of the flour disappears.
Add the hot milk while stirring constantly (using a whisk) for a few seconds until well mixed and the sauce has come to a boil.
Now add salt and pepper in the sauce and keep aside.
Take a baking tray, add the steamed vegetables in the tray and pour the white sauce over the top.
Sprinkle cheese and red chili flakes on top and bake in a preheated oven, for about 7-8 minutes or until bubbly, at 200 degree C.
I used a clay pan to heat it directly on the gas (didn't use oven this time).
Serve hot with garlic bread or as it is.
