Colorful Pulao Medley
Tricolor Pulao has a wide range of flavors with respect to India in every bite. This lovely pulao comprises three different layers: green (spinach pulao), white (plain jeera rice), and orange (tomato pulao). First, the spinach rice is prepared with a blend of cumin and green chilies for the vibrancy of this green layer. Tomato rice needs tomatoes with garam masala and turmeric; the jeera rice requires the cumin to be fried and mixed in the ghee, after which one is required to take good care of the layered appearance.
Cooking this tricolor pulao is a breeze when you use Sumeet's Non-Stick Kadai. It’s even heat distribution ensures that each layer is cooked perfectly, giving you the perfect texture and color for every layer.
Tricolor Pasta
To prepare a more modern Republic Day dish, make the Tricolor Pasta! By placing three different colors in one plate: green pesto, white alfredo, and orange arrabbiata. Prepare the pasta, and make each sauce in separate batches. Pesto combines basil, garlic, olive oil, and Parmesan in a food processor. Alfredo involves melting butter, cream, garlic, and Parmesan together in a pan. For arrabbiata, cook garlic and chili flakes together, then combine with tomatoes and herbs. Layer the sauces over the pasta for a more vibrant presentation.
To cook the pasta to perfection, use the Sumeet Deep Saucepan for boiling and a Sauté Pan for preparing the sauces. These cookware ensures that the sauces are evenly cooked and stay rich in flavor, this treat that will make your Republic Day lunch truly special.
Sweet Finale
No Republic Day lunch is complete with Jalebi! This one is a colorful, crispy syrup-soaked candy that represents all the colors on India's national flag. Infused with a pistachio-flavored syrup (green), traditional syrup (white), and saffron syrup (orange). To get started, use flour, curd, or yogurt, water, and beat it into an even batter. Separate the syrups with their given flavors and heat those too. Fry the batter in a spiral shape until golden and crispy, then dip it in the warm, colorful syrup.
For the crispiest, most evenly fried jalebis, look no further than the Sumeet Deep Frying Pan. Its wide base ensures even heat distribution, allowing your jalebis to fry to a perfect golden crisp. Dip the crispy fried jalebis in the colorful syrup, and you have a sweet, patriotic dish that everyone will love.
