Method


To make the sauce:
Heat milk in a pan while it boils sprinkle rava and stir, when it thickens add a table spoon butter and turn off the heat. Once it cools down add salt pepper and baking soda.

To cook Rice:
I used basmathi rice. for 1 cup rice add 1 3/4 cup water, sat and pepper and 2 tablespoon oil. Pressure cook for 15 minutes on low flame without weight. The rice must just be cooked (say 3/4th done). I also added a dash of soy sauce for flavour.

For the Egg topping:
Beat the eggs and milk with salt and pepper. add in the shredded cheese.

For the Casserole:
Heat butter in a pan. saute the onions, garlic followed by corn and the cooked vegetables. Add salt and pepper. Stir this into the semolina sauce.

Stir in half the rice with the semolina sauce and vegetable mix.
Butter a baking dish and dust with rusk powder. Pour in the mix and level it. Add the layer of rice over it. pour the beaten egg mix over the layer of rice and bake at 220 degree for 30 minutes or untill the top layer of cheese turns brown.
