Independence Day is a day to feel patriotic and proud. From songs to movies to several programmes on television and radio, the day is all about remembering history and paying a tribute to our freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives to free us from the British rule. Nowadays, people have started celebrating the Independence Day in a very elaborate way. They love to wear all things tricolour: From dresses to accessories to youngster getting the Indian flag painted on face, hands, etc.
This is not all, the love of the tricolour has also spilled over in the culinary world. Chefs are curating dishes made in the colours of our flag. “Independence Day is celebrated with great fervour in India as it is a reminder of our country’s freedom from the British Raj. From attending a flag hoisting to decorating our home and office to listening to patriotic songs, we all like doing things that venerate this day and the brave freedom fighters that got us this Independence. Since my passion lies in cooking, I have curated a few dishes that are in the spirit and theme of this special day,” says Chef Narayan Salunke, Executive Chef, Radisson Blu Resort & Spa Alibaug.
Speaking about the inspiration behind making tricolour, Executive Chef, Grand Mercure Bangalore says, “The inspiration behind curating these dishes is to give a gastronomic experience to our guests with the natural essence of vegetables while keeping the local spirit in mind.”
