Since the day is all about celebrating the country’s freedom besides vibrant and diverse culture, what better than celebrating this day with food? Here we have listed 4 amazing recipes you can make on this day:

• Tricolour Dumplings: Steamy hot dumplings are everyone’s favourite right? Every kid and most of the adults love this; dumplings are a north-eastern delight that has taken almost all of the country by storm. You can add a filling of meat or veggies, stuff whatever you like and seal it in tricolour dough made with spinach, carrot, and flour. Trust me you will love it!
• Tricolour Salad: Let’s indulge in something healthy and tasty on this day. With the goodness of carrot, green papaya, and cucumber, here is a healthy brunch or lunch recipe that you can prepare very quickly at home. This salad recipe has a sweet and sour dressing on top that is made with vinegar, honey, soy sauce, salt, cloves, and chilli pepper. Along with the crunch of peanuts, mixed seeds, and refreshing mint leaves, this tricolour salad recipe is an easy one to prepare.
• Tricolour Pulav: On this special occasion of Independence Day, you can make this nutritious rice and enjoy it. To make three different colour layers, we can use spinach to give green colour, coconut milk to make white colour rice, and tomatoes to make a saffron layer of tricolour rice. Eventually, these are rich in nutrients and look delicious too.
• Tricolour cake: There is no perfect way to end the day without having something sweet. This tricolour dessert is made with pistachio paste for the green layer, orange juice for the saffron layer and vanilla pod for the white layer and is insanely delicious.
