I havn’t used maida or food colour in this recipe. most of my recipes especially when cooking for my kid will not include these. instead of using red food colour, i have used beetroot soaked water or you can even use beetroot juice. while we have such an amazing natural red coloring, why to use those harmful chemicals.
