Method for cheese sauce:
- Using the same sauce pan you used for cooking the vegetables, heat butter and add the grated garlic to this, stir this 2-3 times nicely once the garlic gets a slightly golden colour add the flour, stir the flour well too and let it cook till the flour becomes slightly golden; note this will hardly take any time so you have to be very quick.
