Ingredients
- 1 Cauliflower, cut into florets
- 30g Butter
- 1/2 tsp Cumin seeds
- 1 pinch Chilli powder
- 300ml Milk
- 50g plain flour
- 1 tsp English Mustard
- 125g Cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 green chilli, finely chopped
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180C/ gas 4.2. Cook the florets in boiling water for about 5-7 minutes until just tender. Drain.
3. In a saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the cumin seeds, followed by the chilli powder, the milk and finally the flour. Whisk until smooth and boil gently for a couple of minutes, stirring continuously.
4. Reduce the heat so that the sauce is no longer boiling. Season with salt and pepper, stir in the mustard and most of the grated cheese, reserving some to sprinkle on top later. Stir for 1 minute.
5. Pour a little of the sauce into an ovenproof dish that is large enough to hold the cauliflower. Arrange the florets in the dish and pour over the rest of the sauce. Sprinkle the leftover cheese on top, along with the chopped chilli.
6. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the sauce bubbles and the top turns golden. Serve.

Liked the all in method to make the sauce & also the richness of it as a result of the mustard - especially as we only have semi skimmed milk in the house. Could probably do without cumin seeds - maybe use ground cumin next time.
