Re: Thanksgiving

Its a fun meal and a day off for everyone. I LOVE Thanksgiving dinners!!!

I don't think any of us really like turkey so we don't make it. We roast whole chickens instead.

What we do make is everything else...

Stuffing (I am looking for a new recipe this year)

Roasted/mashed potatoes

Veggies like corn/asparagus/peas

Cornbread

Dessert (varies from year to year)

Re: Thanksgiving

I think it was only once we roasted a turkey.....I don't like it as I find it saltier and drier than chicken.

Usually we make baked chicken or some other dish (biryani or nihari, etc).....but it's not because we're celebrating Thanksgiving....but rather because my dad usually enjoys cooking on breaks and weekends.

Re: Thanksgiving

Turkey is hard to make RV...it just doesn't taste right unless you really know what you're doing. And let's face it, desi people don't cook turkey.

Re: Thanksgiving

I've had non-desi turkey too. Just not a fan of turkey. It's not horrible...I just like the texture and taste of chicken better.

Thanksgiving is HUGE in my family!! It’s all about food & football!!! We do the whole spread: turkey & roast chickens…mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, mac 'n cheese, stuffing, salads (this year im introducing a warm wild rice salad i got off of foodnetwork.com) dinner rolls, and 3-4 different pies..and the number one rule is that for this particular day of the year, no desi khaana!!! It’s planned, orchestrated, set up and cooked by us ABCD’s :cool::stuck_out_tongue:
