Planning a Thanksgiving dinner complete with lots of sweet and savoury dishes, spread across various courses? What would bring that extra special ounce of taste into this Thanksgiving repast are seasoning mixes which elevate the flavour complexity of different recipes including rubs, roasts, veggies, breads and desserts prepared for the evening. And making these seasoning mixes at home is possible when all the dry ingredients are ground into a masala using kitchen apparatus such as the Usha Mixer Grinder, which turns whole spices and aromatics into fine, fragrant seasoning powders.
Brown Sugar & Herb Rub
Whether you are roasting a chicken or any other type of protein at Thanksgiving, lending it depth and aroma is a balanced sweet and savoury rub that would caramelise rather well when it is roasted. From chicken to glazed carrots to roasted sweet potatoes, building flavour into Thanksgiving delicacies is a delicious brown sugar and herb rub used to coat these raw elements before they are propped into the oven. Complete with the caramelised sweetness of brown sugar and the aromas of herbs such as dried rosemary, thyme, a hint of smoked paprika and some garlic powder, this spicy, sweet and aromatic rub can be made easily by grinding all ingredients into a fine powder in a mixer grinder.
Garlic Bread Sprinkle
If there was one seasoning that was absolutely easy to make and an instant crowd favourite, rolled into one, it is the garlic parmesan bread sprinkle. Bring together garlic powder, grated parmesan, dried parsley and some oregano in a mixer grinder to render it all into a fine seasoning mix. Any bread, from a baguette to a ciabatta to a sourdough, can be turned into a cheesy, garlicky dinner roll seasoned with this mix, that can accompany curries, meats and pastas at a Thanksgiving repast.

Smoky Maple Chilli Seasoning
Carrying a subtle smokiness and a light sweetness that comes from the maple syrup, this sweet and earthy seasoning works well with roasted or grilled veggies and meats. It can be concocted in the mixer grinder by bringing together smoked paprika, maple syrup, chilli flakes and a small cinnamon bark. Integrated into a sweet, sticky mixture, the seasoning can be lathered on corn ribs, tofu chunks, pumpkin wedges and even chicken wings before grilling.
Cranberry-Orange Sugar Dust
Bright and festive, this cranberry and orange zest is a sweet, tangy and colourful addition to Thanksgiving desserts. It can be used to accentuate the flavours of pies, cheesecakes and tarts made especially for the festive meal. The zest can be concocted by blending cranberry powder, castor sugar, orange zest and just a little bit of cinnamon in the mixer grinder. The dust brings a lot of freshness into sweet treats, to lend them a vibrant festive spin.
Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix
This is a seasoning especially designed for those who prefer a little bit of robustness and spice in their Thanksgiving pies. The mix brings together cinnamon and ginger powder with nutmeg, star anise and green cardamom. All crushed to a fine powder in the mixer grinder, this seasoning can be sprinkled in pumpkin pies, apple tarts and oatmeal cookies baked for Thanksgiving. The spice mix can also be used to level-up the festive quotient of lattes and fresh toast prepared as part of a festive Thanksgiving breakfast spread.
