Method
Add butter to a pan on medium flame. Once it melts and starts to foam, add the onion and garlic and saute until fragrant. Once the onions are lightly golden, add the maida and stir constantly to prevent any burning.
Once the raw flour smell dissipates, add in your milk little by little while constantly mixing. Add your milk only once the previous batch has been completely mixed in and is lump-free. Season the sauce with salt, nutmeg and paprika. Turn the flame off once the sauce has slightly thickened and add in the cheese while stirring. Put the sauce aside and start boiling your water to cook the pasta.
Cook the pasta 2 minutes shy of the package recommendation. Mix in the pasta with the sauce and pour into a baking dish.
To make the topping, lightly blend coriander with breadcrumbs until they turn green.
Spread the topping over the surface of the pasta and bake in a preheated 200C oven for 15 minutes or until the topping becomes golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
