What we’re serving for Thanksgiving
We all know that Cristóbal Colón got lost in Apache Nagar when he was looking for Karol Bagh. In typical desi ishtyle, that’s excuse enough for a party. Please enlighten:
Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

It started out as turkey and ended up as turkey biryani. Cooking’s hard, guys.
y’knw what they say about aiming for the top and landing a mile short (but ten miles up). :-)
pix please priya.
daal chawal sabji rasam kadi fresh coconut chutney and rasamalai…we served all indian dishes for thanksgiving dinner to Indian friends this thanksgiving..
whoa! you really represent a fair bit of india right there… I take it daal chawal are from the gangetic plains in the north east, the kadi is from jodhpur (wiki says it was invented there), rasam from tamil nadu, coconut chutney arguably from further kerala and rasamali from bengal. Good show!
I wonder if UB will share pics of his Tday feast. hmmm…
South indians eat rice (chawal) with daal though in our house we ate roti and rice. North indians eat daal with roti mostly and north indian daal is different from south indian daal. Kadi, rasam, coconut chutney are all south indian and again items like kadi are made in north india too. North indian kadi is different from south indian kadi. kerala people use a lot of coconut in everything in every sabji but fresh chutneys with coconut are typical tamilnadu and andhra dishes. rasam is typically south indian, made in tamilnadu and andhra probably more.
I had a bengali friend come home from DC for thanksgiving and hence rasamalai.
And thanks to all my multicultural friends, I ended up learning cuisines from a lot of states in India and hence we represented a fair bit of India.
