Diwali is the festival of lights and marks the start of the new year in India. It is unique because it is celebrated across all faiths and commemorates the triumph of good over evil. We are excited to celebrate Diwali with you by cooking some delicious North Indian food-Butter Chicken and Palak Paneer (also called Saag Paneer). Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani) hails from New Delhi, the capital of India. It is tender pieces of chicken cooked in a sauce that is the perfect harmony between the tart tomatoes, creamy butter, and bitter aromatics while maintaining a certain lightness. Palak Paneer needs no introduction. It's the best way to eat spinach and cottage cheese in an aromatic gravy that makes spinach a star.
This dish will be served with home-style parathas (Indian flatbread) and not naan as shown in the picture.

Pozole is a popular and beloved dish in Mexico, and it is enjoyed during special occasions, such as weddings, Independence Day, Christmas, and Día de los Muertos. Traditional Mexican Pozole (pronounced po-so-le) is a rich, brothy stew made with pork, hominy, chicken broth, a mix of roasted guajillo, ancho, and arbol chiles, cumin, and Mexican oregano. This stew comes with an assortment of toppings like shredded cabbage, radishes, cilantro, lime, red onions, and tortilla chips that you add to your bowl as you please. The broth is amazing, and you might want a tortilla to soak up the broth ☺️.
