Indian Thanksgiving

I mentioned a couple of days ago that I would be having my family over for Thanksgiving dinner for the first time!  It was a big responsibility to take on, but everyone chipped in and helped cook, in true family style.  My family is Indian and vegetarian so I mocked up a family friendly menu.  It’s an Indian dinner with a bit of Thanksgiving flavor!  I linked the recipes I used for the dishes, too.

Appetizers

• Tandoori Paneer Tikka
• Eggplant & Green Chili Bajji

Breads & Rice

• White Rice
• Parathas & Kulchas

Veggies

• Cauliflower Curry
• Sweet Potato Curry
• Saag Paneer

Stews & Soups

• Butternut Squash Sambar (I used a slow cooker recipe)
• Tomato Rasam

Side

• Apple Thokku (Chutney)

I used this site, Catch My Party, to print labels for the food, and Oh Happy Day’s labels for packing the leftovers!  My cousins who are 7 and 3 came over as well, so I had to find them activities to keep them busy!  Here are the ideas I used:

• Pictograph Placemats
• Teepee Centerpiece
• Coloring Pages
