Making White Sauce-
Heat a saucepan. Keep the flame to a low and add 2 tablespoons butter. You can use salted or unsalted butter.

When the butter melts and starts to bubble, then add 1 tablespoon whole wheat flour or 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour.

Stir the flour quickly as soon as you add it. Keep on stirring so that no lumps are formed. The frequent stirring helps the flour to cook evenly. You will see the flour frothing and bubbling up while stirring. Sauté the flour till you get a nice cooked aroma from the flour and a pale golden color.

Keep the flame to the lowest and then pour 1 cup chilled milk in a gentle stream. Pour the milk with one hand and stir the sauce mixture with the other. The milk has to be chilled, so that lumps are not formed. If you use hot or warm milk or milk at room temperature, lumps can be formed.

On a low flame, simmer the sauce till it thickens.

When the sauce has thickened well and coats the back of a spoon,add the seasonings – ¼ teaspoon black pepper powder, a generous pinch of oregano, chilli flakes and salt as required. For a cheese sauce, you can add 2 tablespoons of grated cheddar cheese.
