Papa’s Butter Chicken is a heartwarming story that celebrates food, family, and the bonds we share with our neighbors. The story follows a young girl and her dad as they make their favorite butter chicken and share it with their neighbors. As everyone brings their own cultural dishes for a backyard cookout, it becomes a wonderful celebration of diversity, love, and the joy of connecting over food.

I love seeing how food brings everyone together in such a meaningful way. I have to mention that my picky-eating toddler, who turns his nose up at pretty much everything, somehow always has room for garlic naan and samosas. It’s like magic! Papa’s Butter Chicken perfectly captures the joy and warmth that comes with sharing meals with loved ones and neighbors. It’s a beautiful reminder that food is a powerful way to connect, learn, and celebrate each other.
