Tricolour Dosa

Independence Day is a special occasion that fills every Indian heart with pride and joy. It’s a day to celebrate the spirit of unity, diversity, and freedom. What better way to mark this day than by preparing a dish that represents the colors of our national flag? Tricolour Dosa is a vibrant and creative dish inspired by the Indian flag, made using natural ingredients to achieve the saffron, white, and green hues.

This dosa is not just visually appealing but also delicious and healthy. The saffron layer gets its color from carrots or tomato puree, the white layer remains the classic dosa batter, and the green layer comes from spinach or coriander puree. It’s a simple yet festive way to celebrate Republic Day with your family and friends.

Serve the Tricolour Dosa with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, or sambar for a delicious and complete meal.
