Happy Republic Day 2019: Top 5 Tricolour Recipes That You Must Try At Home!

India will be celebrating its 70th Republic Day today, January 26th, 2019. The day marks the event of India becoming a democratic republic and honours the day when the Indian Constitution replaced the Government of India Act, as the governing document of the country. The day is marked by a parade that is held in the capital city of India- New Delhi. The parade is a grand event that is attended by world leaders and broadcast on national television across the country. The parade is a show where the military strength is on display. Republic Day is a national holiday and hence, is a day when friends and family gather together to watch the parade at home and celebrate by hoisting tricolour flags in schools and offices. People also wear tricolour badges for some events and exchange greetings with acquaintances.

Tricolour foods are all the rage on Republic Day. Dishes with the three national flag colours- saffron, white and green are prepared at homes and served in restaurants and hotels. The three colours of the national flag represent strength and courage, peace and purity, and growth and prosperity respectively. The tricolour combination can be achieved in dishes by either adding food colouring or by adding natural ingredients of the three colours while preparing the dish. The colours can be easily achieved at home as well and if you wish to mix the patriotic fervour in your food, this Republic Day, we have the best tricolour recipes for you.
