Want to rethink your Thanksgiving feast by revamping cranberry sauce? Try roasting cranberries.
We asked Anjan Mitra, owner of Dosa, in San Francisco, to channel his culinary identity through a traditional side dish.
Anjan Mitra hosts Thanksgiving for his staff, many of whom hail from India, adding familiar spices to an unfamiliar meal. This spiced and spicy hybrid cranberry sauce/chutney is a main-stay.
If you can’t find jaggery (evaporated unrefined palm sap or sugarcane juice, sold in blocks), Mitra suggests coconut sugar or light brown sugar.
Give this roasted cranberries recipe a shot. Your Thanksgiving is about to get a lot more interesting.
