Indepedence Day 2019: How About Making The Perfect Tricolour Parfait?

This year marks the 73rd Independence Day of India and will be celebrated across the nation with zeal and fervour.

It enthuses great patriotic feelings and is a great opportunity to thank thousands of our freedom struggle veterans and soldiers. It brings back the childhood memories of unfurling our tricolour flag in school and watching the live telecasts from the Red Fort at Delhi. The memories about getting sweets and snacks during these celebrations and enjoying the day with our friends and family.

I hope we are able to give similar good memories to our children and to do the same I made this tricolour dessert. It has a kiwi jelly for the green, vanilla pannacotta for the white and a mango mousse for the saffron.

The dessert is perfect for the occasion and loved by all. My son was too excited and shared it with all his friends while my husband told them stories of our Independence. So here's how I did it-
