Alia Bhatt’s latest conquest (or rather a journey for about two years) has been learning how to cook. Do you remember the beetroot raita and sauteed zucchini that she started with her YouTube channel? Everyone was cooking and eating healthy food like the actor.

Now that she is a mother, Alia enjoys cooking food for her daughter and loves the fact that her mom, Soni Razdan, prepares the same dishes for Raha Kapoor that she and her sister have grown up eating. “Life has come to a full circle,” she adds while getting goosebumps.

In the recent video, Alia is not only cooking with her mama but also in her luxurious white-themed kitchen. Apart from cooking, the aesthetics of the kitchen will also appeal to epicureans. Check out the recipe!

Alia Bhatt Learns To Cook Mac & Cheese From Mother Soni Razdan

Before the mother-daughter duo began cooking, Soni Razdan shared a list of ingredients you will need to replicate the recipe at your home. Note it!

  • 350 ml milk
  • 90 grams of grated cheese
  • 90 grams of pasta
  • 2 tbsp maida
  • 25 grams of butter
  • Salt to taste
  • A pinch of black pepper
  • ½ tsp nutmeg powder
  • Oil as needed
  • 2 cups water

The process begins with boiling pasta in hot water. Soni directed Alia to add some salt and a little bit of oil to prevent the shells from sticking together. When the actor was stirring, her mother instructed her to stop doing that, otherwise, pasta would have taken more time to cook.

Next came preparing the white sauce for which Soni has a trick. Before melting the butter, she added a dash of olive oil to prevent it from burning. The duo added maida, and the actor's mother instructed her to keep track of it. Once flour has curdled and cooked a bit with fat, you gradually add milk.

Once the sauce was ready, Soni added cheddar cheese, nutmeg, salt, black pepper, and pasta water. After tossing pasta in it, she poured it into a baking dish, topped it with some more cheese, and baked the ingredients in the oven to cook the crust until the cheese turned a little brown. 

Soni and Alia’s mac and cheese was delicious and the duo requested their fans to stay tuned as the next recipe would be of apple crumble. Are you excited about this new adventure Alia has hopped on?
