Bechamil is a very famous Mediterranean dish. It was thought to me many years back my one of my maids who was working part time for a arab family. This dish can be made with macaroni or spegatti but as she thought me with spegatti i will teach you the same. The best part of this dish is the chicken which has only a few ingredients but the taste is amazing the freshness of coriander leaves comes in every bite of the dish. The other best part is the white salaam is made up of wheat flour . Do try it and leave a feedback
