heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Prepare the white sauce by melting 2 tbsp butter in a saucepan, then whisk in 2 tbsp maida (refined flour) and cook for 2 minutes.

Slowly add 2 cups of chilled milk while stirring to avoid lumps, then season with 1/2 tsp black pepper powder and 1/2 tsp salt.

Cook the sauce until it thickens, then set aside.

In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp oil and 1 tbsp butter, then sauté 7-8 chopped garlic cloves until fragrant.

Add the chopped vegetables (1/2 cup carrots, 1/2 cup beans, 1/2 cup broccoli, 1/2 cup cauliflower, 1/4 cup peas, 1/4 cup capsicum, 1/4 cup red bell pepper, 1/4 cup yellow bell pepper) and cook until slightly tender, seasoning with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper powder.

Mix in 1/4 cup pineapple cubes for added flavor.

Layer the sautéed vegetables in a baking dish, pour the white sauce over the top, and sprinkle with grated cheese for garnishing.

Bake in a preheated oven until the top is golden and bubbling.
