½ tsp cumin seeds
A pinch of chilli powder
300ml milk

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 180C. Wash the florets and cook them in a pan of boiling water for 5-7 minutes.

Remove and drain. Melt the butter and tip in the cumin seeds followed by the chilli powder. Add the milk and flour and mix until smooth, stirring constantly. Tip in the salt, pepper and mustard. Add the cheese, leaving a little to sprinkle on top.
