The Story in Brief
ABP Live has published tricolour recipes for Independence Day 2026, including idli platter, biryani and paneer tikka. Chefs from Priya Living in Hyderabad shared the dishes. The tricolour idli uses fermented rice-and-lentil batter steamed and presented with green and saffron accompaniments. The 'Pride of India Biryani' layers basmati rice with vegetables, saffron and fried onions. The paneer tikka combines hung curd, spices and coloured capsicum. The article suggests these dishes can add a festive touch to family meals on August 15.
The Indian Opinion
The ABP Live article treats recipes as years-old facts, but none of these dishes is traditional enough to be called 'patriotic'. Idli is South Indian, biryani is Mughlai, and paneer tikka is North Indian. Calling them 'tricolour' because of saffron, white and green accompaniments is a stretch. The real test of nationalism is not what we eat but how we treat each other. If these recipes spark curiosity about regional cuisines beyond the tricolour theme, they will have served a better purpose than the lazy narrative that patriotism can be plated.
