Padma Lakshmi Instagram – Usually #LittleHands and I do a big Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey, stuffing the whole nine yards with all our loved ones. Some years when she has been with her dad, I just go to Paris and have a ball. No turkey, no relatives.

This year we will blissfully be just the two of us (though we will miss our family) doing nothing. I’m making a roast chicken and roasted vegetables, so that we can still make our beloved potpie with leftovers. We are both exhausted and when I asked Krishna what she wanted to do this year, she said, “Can it be just us? Can we not do a big dinner and just chill and rest, mom?”

Yes darling, yes we can!!! Hope your holiday is peaceful and delicious.

Happy Thanksgiving from me and LittleHands!!!
Padma Lakshmi Instagram – Every time I cook this dish I try to recreate the chole that I would find simmering all day on my Aunt Papu’s stove when I visited Delhi as a kid.

Chole, a dish of spiced chickpeas (also called Chana or Chana Masala!) originates in the Indian subcontinent but can be found wherever people from the subcontinent went and settled due to colonialism.  Every culture and family has their own variation, but this is mine. What is your version of chole??
