Hello everybody. I am new to this site. I have a daughter who was adopted from India (she's 6 now) and my grandfather was also from India. Anyway, I'm in the US and I am trying to find a good dessert to bring to our family's Thanksgiving dinner. I always try to bring an Indian recipe to celebrate my daughter's heritage. Any good ideas? Nothing with curry, please. (Even though I love it, my mother is allergic to it!) Thank you! vani replied. hi,
