This Republic Day I thought to share one of the most-loved and easy-to-prepare tri-colour recipes which you can make it at home without any much ado. It is as simple as it can get, and as delicious as you want it to be.
To begin with, you will have to prepare the Orange/Saffron Rice. It has a touch of western flavours and tastes a bit mild as compared to the Green Rice. It is Cheesy, and the sourness of Tomato makes it a perfect treat to eat for all the age groups, especially children.
The second layer is the White Rice, which plays the balancing role between the Orange/Saffron and the Green layers of Rice.
The third layer, Green Rice, is on the healthier side. It is full of Indian spices and flavours. Also, if you add Raita into the combo, then it would make a complete meal for children.
So if you are scrambling the Internet to prepare an Indian flag-themed, Republic Day-themed, or tri-coloured themed recipe on January 26 this year, this recipe shall be the end of your search.
Not only does the recipe looks fancy and pretty much amazing when assorted in the tri-coloured style, but as it has loads of cheese, and a handful of Indian spices, the dish comes out as a perfect blend of taste and nutrition. Republic Day Special Recipe: Tri-Coloured Rawa Dhokla.
