Tiranga Bhaat is a vibrant, tri-colored rice dish often prepared during national festivals or special celebrations to represent the Indian flag. It is not just about the colors; each layer has its own distinct flavor profile. The saffron layer is usually flavored with carrots or tomato, the white layer is simple tempered rice or coconut rice, and the green layer is aromatic with spinach or mint. It is a magnifique centerpiece for a festive table and children absolutely love the visual appeal. Making this requires a bit of patience to assemble the layers, but the result is a joyful and fragrant meal that celebrates our heritage.
