Indian Vegetarian Thanksgiving Sides
No turkey here:) I grew up eating Indian food for Thanksgiving. The dishes varied from year to year, but they were always vegetarian & most often using the fall vegetables that were in season.

Masala Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
I don’t think I’ve roasted pumpkin seeds since I was really young. Although, it seems like a very American thing to do, I remember my grandmother when she lived with my family in New Jersey actually roasting the seeds for our family.
