The red color is obtained by adding canned tomato puree to the dough.
Step 4
Orange: Add freshly squeezed carrot juice or sea buckthorn juice to the dough.
Step 5
You get a yellow color if you add saffron or turmeric to the flour. For sweet dough - lemon juice.

Step 8
For dumplings, dumplings, or fried tortillas, pour the flour into a deep bowl, make a well, and gently add the eggs, salt water, and color. Stir, gradually picking up the flour from the edges, until you have a stiff dough. Then knead the dough thoroughly until smooth and color.
