Instructions:
- Place the butter in a preheated saucepan and melt it down over low heat.
- Once the butter is melted, add the plain flour and stir well.
- Cook the mixture of butter and plain flour until it becomes a bit lumpy and dry, which should take about 2-4 minutes. It’s crucial to cook this mixture well.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and slowly, very slowly, add the milk while stirring continuously.
- The sauce should start to become smooth. If it turns out lumpy, you might have added the milk too fast. Keep adding the milk gradually until the desired thickness is achieved.
- Add the paprika and lemon juice to the sauce for an extra kick of flavor.
- Slowly add the cheese and stir until it melts completely, ensuring there are no visible cheese gratings in the dish.
- Optionally, you can add any other herbs of your choice to enhance the taste further.
- Add the vindaloo-flavored tuna to the saucepan and stir well.
- Season the mixture with white pepper for added flavor.
- Incorporate the plain tuna into the mixture and let it simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes, lightly stirring every minute or so.
- Once cooked, garnish with some parsley for a fresh finishing touch.
