76th Independence Day: 3 easy tricolour dishes without fire for children

India is set to celebrate 75 glorious years of independence on August 15. As the whole country is gearing up for the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, it’s time to add some flavour to your 76th Independence Day celebrations. And what’s better than tricolour dishes?

This Independence Day, ditch the regular Samosa, Ghevar, and bread pakodas and indulge in these recipes that are inspired by the Indian Flag. Instead of just spending the day watching parades, flag-hoisting ceremonies, and cultural events and gobbling down the usual home-cooked meals, it’s time to try something new, unique, and, of course, delicious this year.

We have come up with tricolour dishes and that too without fire so that you can involve your children in this activity and also inculcate a sense of patriotism in them.

  • Two tablespoons of Khus syrup (for green colour)
  • One tablespoon of cardamom powder
  • Three tablespoon sugar

Method

  • Start with whisking the curd. Add sugar and cardamom powder to the curd.
  • To create the saffron colour of the flag, mix curd and Kesar syrup and to get the green colour, mix the curd and Khus syrup separately.
  • For the white colour keep the curd as is; don’t mix anything with it.
  • To make your favourite beverage tricolored, pour the Khus lassi into the glass first, then the plain white lassi, and then the Kesar lassi towards the end.
  • To serve chilled, garnish with pistachios.

3. Tricolour Cookies

  • All Purpose Flour – 2 Cups
  • Unsalted butter/ Clarified Butter (Ghee) – 1 Cup

  • Now add the butter and sugar mixture and mix well. Bring everything together to form the dough. Do not knead.
  • Divide the dough into 3 equal parts.
  • Take about 1/4 teaspoon of milk in 2 small bowls, add orange food color in one and green in the second. Mix the color well with milk.
  • Now add the green color mixture to one part of the dough and mix well until the dough becomes green.
  • Do the same with orange color liquid and another part of the dough.
  • Keep the third part of the dough plain but add 1/4 teaspoon of plain milk to it so that the dough becomes soft.
  • Cover and keep all the dough parts for Tri color cookies in the refrigerator for an hour.
  • After an hour remove the Tri-Colour Cookies dough. On a flat surface, sprinkle some flour (or place butter paper) and roll out all the dough one by one.
  • Carefully keep the rolled green dough on a chopping board. Place the white part over the green one and then the orange one on the top of the white. Press them lightly.
  • Using a knife cut the dough into rectangular pieces.
  • Take one rectangular piece at a time, and press them a little. Place the chopped nut in the middle (like Ashoka Chakra).
  • Place some Tri Colour cookies on a greased baking tray and bake them in preheated oven at 180 degrees for 12 – 15 minutes. Baking time varies from oven to oven. Keep a check on the color to know when it is done.
  • Once it is done, remove it from the oven and let it set for 3-4 minutes. After that place them on a wire rack and let them cool completely.
  • Repeat the process until all the Tri-Colour cookies are baked.
  • Store them in an air-tight container and enjoy them whenever you want.

A woman from Ahmedabad in Gujarat placed an order for a paneer tikka sandwich from a restaurant through a food delivery app. But after receiving her order, she was shocked to discover that the restaurant had delivered a non-veg sandwich instead of the vegetarian one she had ordered.

Nirali, who is a vegetarian by choice, had ordered her dinner from Pick Up Meals by Terra on 3rd of May. On receiving her sandwich she had a few bites when she noticed that the paneer was unusually hard. She initially assumed it to be soya, but later it turned out to be chicken. She was shocked to discover that she had received a non vegetarian sandwich instead of the paneer sandwich which she had ordered.

Talking to the media she said she had never consumed non-vegetarian food in her life and it was a shocking and dreadful experience for her. The lady has filed a complaint against the restaurant with the Deputy Health Officer of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation. She also demanded a Rs 50 lakh compensation for the same.

After her complaint, the food department has slapped a fine of Rs 5,000 on the restaurant. But she felt that this fine is not enough. She said the incident is very dreadful, and it cannot be reversed. She further added Rs 5,000 fine is not enough, and she will go to the consumer court.

She said she could’ve asked for more, but even that would not have served justice to what she felt. Nirali told the restaurant owners that she is doing this for the youth who experience similar incidents but are not aware of their rights.  Although the woman is facing backlash for her behavior but she has found support from people who commend her for standing up against what she perceives as a serious oversight in food handling and consumer rights.
