Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

Step 1
Mix cornstarch, curry powder and salt in a 2½-quart souffle dish. Pour in a little of the milk and stir until cornstarch is completely dissolved. Stir in remaining milk. Cover tightly with lid or microwave plastic wrap. Cook at 100 percent power in a 650- to 700-watt oven for 4 minutes. Prick plastic to release steam.
Step 2
Remove from oven and uncover. Scrape corners and bottom of dish with a wooden spoon. Whisk well to dissolve any lumps. Cover, return to oven and cook for 3 minutes. Prick plastic to release steam.
Step 3
Remove from oven and uncover. Whisk in red pepper sauce and 1 cup of the cheese.
Step 4
Scrape sauce into a large bowl. Stir in broccoli. Put mixture in an oval dish, 13 by 9 by 2 inches. Cook, covered with plastic, for 5 minutes. Prick plastic to release steam. Uncover and stir. Re-cover and cook for 7 minutes. Prick plastic. While broccoli is cooking, preheat broiler.
Step 5
Remove dish from oven and uncover. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Run a small knife around the inside edge of the dish to prevent sticking. Put dish under broiler until cheese browns, about 6 minutes. Remove from oven and serve warm.
