Here’s How You Can Make This Dish At Home

Now, if you’re enticed enough, here’s the mac and cheese recipe that Alia Bhatt learnt from her mother.

Ingredients

350 ml milk
90g grated cheddar cheese
90g pasta
2 tbsp maida (all-purpose flour)
25g butter
Salt
Nutmeg powder
Black pepper powder

Recipe

1. Start by boiling the pasta in salted water. Add a dash of oil to it as this helps avoid the pasta from sticking together.
2. In another vessel, add a dash of olive oil before adding butter. This will ensure that your butter doesn’t burn (Soni Razdan’s expert tip!)
3. Then add the maida, stir it well, and let the maida cook.
4. Take the vessel off the heat and add the milk. Give it a good whisk.
5. Once you’re sure there are no lumps, put it back on the stove and keep stirring it.
6. Once the sauce starts to bubble up, add the cheese along with a pinch of nutmeg, salt, and some black pepper.
7. In the meantime, drain the pasta and keep some of the pasta water.
8. Once the pasta sauce is thick, add a bit of this water and do a quick taste check.
9. Add the pasta to the sauce and mix well.
10. Transfer it to a baking dish, sprinkle it with some shredded cheese and bake it.

And that’s it, your mac and cheese is ready to dig in!
