I also avoid food colouring. The only one I have is egg yellow coloured powder for zarda.

I also use haldi for biryani.

My mum uses haldi to colour her zarda.

Food colors should seriously be avoided. They are nothing but a bunch of artificial chemicals.

For biryani, turmeric is best but I don’t mind biryani without any yellow color either.

Re: Food colors in your kitchen cabinet..

I want to know the turmeric colouring bit as well .. I mean does it not give the taste in zarda if used?

Also , by no means am I recommending the use of colors in the salan. I meant decorating desserts or yoghurts or rice in some cases and ofcourse cakes and cookies
