#cheese
This recipe is made using white sauce. The sauce is fully healthy since it is made from wheat flour. Also have added natural colours by using blanched spinach puree and tomato puree. Since the dish is baked the flavours of the spices gets enhanced and final dish tastes amazing due to melting of cheese.
