INGREDIENTS -

 

250 gm Button Mushrooms, Chopped

1 tbsp Ghee

1 tbsp rice flour

Handful of fresh moringa leaves, chopped

4-5 cloves of garlic

1 tsp Cumin seeds

1tsp black pepper powder

Salt, to taste

1tsp roasted cumin powder

Water

1 cheese cube, grated

1 tsp Oregano mix

METHOD - 

1. In a pan lightly roast the rice flour in low flame. You have to stop roasting it to a point where its color will start to change. Set it aside. 

The motive is to lose the raw taste of rice flour by doing this else the taste of flour will overpower the recipe. You don't want its color to change as it will turn brown sauce instead of white sauce.

2. In a saucepan, add ghee. Once it is hot, add the cumin seeds, let them roast. Then add garlic, roast them as well followed by moringa leaves. Cook them for a minute then add chopped mushrooms. Mix well.

3. Add a little salt to allow mushrooms to leave its juices and cook the mixture in a low flame till mushrooms are cooked and water is evaporated.

4. Add roasted cumin powder, black pepper powder and adjust the salt. Give a final stir, cover and set aside.

5. Take the roasted rice flour again. Add oregano to it and water to make a thick paste. Once it starts to come together add grated cheese and switch off the flame. Whisk regularly to allow the cheese to melt and to ensure no lumps are formed.

6. Once the paste is thick and coat able add the cooked mushroom moringa to it and mix well to coat everything in this cheesy mix.

7. Serve hot with rice or chapati.

Note - One thing that I have noticed while using moringa is that it loves oil/ghee and it absorbs it all. To help cook it use only that much fat as is required, make sure the flame is low and do not overcook the leaves. 

I have used rice flour to make a gluten-free version of white sauce. White sauce cheesy garlicy mushrooms with moringa leaves are healthy, tasty and an amazing recipe to make on repeat and indulge.
