baked paneer and mushroom pie

this is baked paneer and mushroom pie.
3 layers.
bottom: paneer and mushroom set in some roux.
middle: half blanched mix veg. carrot, peas, and cauliflower.
top: mashed potato and grated cheese.
bake for 30 minutes.

roux is basically a mixture of butter, flour, and milk.
take equal part of butter and flour..
i used 1/2 cup butter, and 1/2 cup flour.
it depends on how much you need.
use medium heat.
melt the butter, stir in the flour.
the mixture will become somewhat gooey.
add in the milk, keep stirring.
until its consistency becomes something like a cake batter.
add in salt and pepper.
remove from the heat,
fold in the mushroom and paneer.

you can make the mashed potato
according to your taste buds..
simple heh?

1 thing i love about this recipe is that
it is very versatile.
the bottom and middle layer can be replaced by any ingredient
you can find under the sun.
this was actually a modification of my mom's baked fish pie.
that recipe calls for dory fish and hard boiled eggs(in the bottom layer),
cauliflower and broccoli(in the middle layer).

delish!

nadiah =)
