Sometimes when it's a holiday it becomes a wonderful occasion to call
friends and family over and have a little face time in this day of the
digital age.

Get off the phone screens and laptop screens or even the television
screens and have a person-to-person bonding time over eating freshly
made home food. You can gather around the stove for some wonderful
stories of what Independence day means to you. It also helps that most
memories that you have of growing up no matter how old you are now,
surround eating, and maybe drinking unique beverages that were available
just in your locality. (or so you thought).

Here is a list of recipes we just put together so that your Independence
Day becomes all the more special. And we have even separated them by
colour so that you FEEL the love for your country while you are making
these dishes.

We recommend making all three colours for the table and then taking
awesome pictures! Don't forget to upload any new recipe that you come
across on www.cookpad.com/in.
