Republic Day Special Dishes

The tricolor theme will be present in all possible things. Some people will wear tricolored clothing, some people will hold a small flag in their hands, and some people will buy handmade products that symbolize the significance of the day. In addition, the nation will be graced with vibrant works of art. So how do we exclude food from it?

The meals spread joy. Food serves as a more memorable depiction of Republic Day festivities than anything else. The tricolors of our flag will be memorably represented by food. Additionally, it is a wonderful way to honor the country. Additionally, for individuals unable to participate in either, this is the ideal method to celebrate this day.

Although some of these recipes call for food coloring, the majority don’t. In order to give the cuisine the tricolors of the Indian flag, we have released our imagination and used beautiful veggies with thematic colors. There can be many ideas to color the food with the tricolor of India, like Tri-color pasta, tri-color sandwiches, tri-color chapati, tri-color vegetable or sabji, etc.
