Every Independence Day, Angeline Joseph cooks a tricolour theme meal.
Rediff.com's Anita Aikara reports.

Twenty years ago, on Independence Day, Angeline Joseph, a homemaker from Borivali, northwest Mumbai, cooked a tricolour biryani for her family.

Since then, she has been cooking a special 'tricolour' meal every Independence Day.

Over the years, besides the tiranga biryani, she has added Tricolour neer dosa, Tricolour raita and Tricolour salad to the menu.

Each dish, she says, is decorated to resemble the Indian flag.

This Independence Day, Angeline plans another special tricolour meal to celebrate August 15.
