Thanksgiving Central
These are all of our family's favorite Thanksgiving staples. They might not be the most traditional in a way, but they are super delicious. The readers love and make them every year, and they have become a part of our Holiday traditions. My mushroom and croissant bake is the best vegetarian stuffing, and the balsamic glazed Brussels sprouts are a must-have side dish for our Thanksgiving feast!

Indian Cooking Basics
Are you new to Indian cooking and want to start with the basics? Here, you will find my recipes for the staples that I make, the way they have been made in my family for generations, with slight adaptations according to our lifestyle in the US. There are staples like my stovetop basmati rice recipe, whole wheat rotis, lentils, and a wide array of vegetables, complemented by aromatic spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cardamom. Key cooking methods include tempering (tadka), simmering, and bhoono (slow-cooking), which bring out the depth and complexity of flavors.
