Yeah, i was thinking pumpkin. A King prawn and pumpkin dhansak.

Depends if its for kids or if you want some buffet items as well.

You could make zombies fingers (stuffed chillies) with edible fingernails attached.

or, Deep fried warty toads with bats blood (chicken lollipops with chilli dip)

Welcome to the forum 8t8

You could make a Witches Cauldron - AKA - Naga Kadu
Here's one I made earlier, a hot, fiery, feast.
any Squash/Pumpkin will do for this.

Hi Frank
Cut, peel deseed and shape the Butternut Squash.

Give it a marinade rub, inside and out.

Rub = G&G paste, Mix powder, Kashmiri Chilli powder, Salt and Pepper.

Steam the squash until its Al dente, three quarters done.

Cook any of my Bhuna style recipes and add the squash halfway, roll it around
half fill it with some of the sauce, finish cooking both and serve.

Tip: If you overcook the squash, it will quickly fall apart.

cheers Chewy
