Hi there, my spice lovin’ cuties! Asha here—Diaspora Co’s recipe editor and co-author of our upcoming cookbook (fall 2025, baby!). After months and months of long days of recipe developing for the Diaspora Cookbook, I took a few weeks off from cooking and now I’m ready to get back in the kitchen to prepare the biggest, most delectable Turkey Day spread.
The star of the show is the juiciest, most succulent Tandoori Masala Roast Turkey, starring our iconic Tandoori Masala. The masala—featuring 17 freshly-farmed spices, including coriander, cumin, garlic, ginger, Byadgi and Sirārakhong Hāthei chillies, amchur, cardamom, cinnamon, jaggery, Kashmiri saffron, and cockscomb flowers (for that brilliant red hue!)—is combined with buttermilk, Surya Salt, and Madhur Jaggery to create the dreamiest brine. Psst, you'll need ¾ cup of the tandoori masala, so make sure to snag the Chef’s Tin.
Instead of roasting the turkey whole, you’re going to break it down into pieces—don’t worry, I’ll guide you through it in the recipe!—which creates more surface area for the brine to penetrate and allows you to roast the breast, legs, and wings for different times, ensuring a never-dry bird. The result is SO flavorful and has the most gorgeous burnished skin (I mean look at the photo above, need I say more?). It’s truly a stunner—I promise, once you make this turkey, you’ll never make roast turkey any other way.
Of course, we’ve got plenty more Thanksgiving recipe goodness for you, too. Our Saag Paneer Galette is the ultimate vegetarian centerpiece. Plus, make sure your sides game is strong with Brussels Sprouts Sabzi, creamy mashed potatoes (the secret to the butteriest mash is a little bit of Anamalai Nutmeg), Butternut Squash & Leeks Au Gratin, and Beet & Avocado Salad with Roasty-Toasty Dressing. And, don’t forget something sweet! End your feast with the Perfect Pumpkin Pie, Carrot-Ginger Snacking Cake, or Spiced Honeynut Squash Cake (hot tip - we're sadly out of Pumpkin Spice on our site, but if you're in Northern California, head to a Whole Foods near you to snag a tin!).
Don’t forget to tag us @diasporaco in all your festive feasting—we love to see it—and if you have any holiday cooking or entertaining questions, our DMs are always open, and you can also ping me @fromheadtotable!

P.S. If you’re not cooking on the big day and heading to a loved one’s house this feasting season, don’t forget a little somethin’ somethin’ for your family or friend who’s hosting! Sure, a bottle of wine or flowers is nice, but a cute trio of spices will last longer. My favorite gifty friend is the Chai Trio, pairing our best-selling Chai Masala with a tin of Madhur Jaggery and Chota Tingrai Black Tea. Or, our Spicy Dish Towel Trio—featuring three bright, vibrant towels, decorated with chillies, turmeric, and coriander illustrations—make a great present, too. And, lastly, if someone showed up with one of our new, limited edition Hella Spicy totes, they’d get an invite back every year.
