Recipe Story

Some recipes are created with a particular purpose and the purpose of this recipe is to show the respect towards Indian flag and its significance. When I was in school we had a 'cooking content for moms' in our school. My mom was really excited to make something special on that day. She did'nt tell me the recipe till the day of the contest. I was really worried as I wanted my mom to be the best in the school. In contest she cooked these 'tri-color balls' and everyone praised her for her creativity. Moreover the dish was healthy as well. I am proud of my mom and her ideas.
