Indian Independence day special: Tri-colored bread

Thousands laid down their lives so that we can enjoy independence to this day. Remembering all those fighters and their sacrifice, let's celebrate freedom and years of prosperity and peace. With this dish, I wish Happy Independence day to all Indians!

I made this bread that represents our beautiful National Flag. It is one of the best patriotic snacks for our kids as a surprise to give them a merry Independence day.
