It's that official time of the year when the freaky and faulty get to be the "in" things. And while most of us Indians ( I do, okay) sulk over the fact that we never get to celebrate the occasion to its fullest, customary sense like in the other parts of the worlds, I think there's an interesting breakout to not feel that way this year.
So as the title has already clued you in, lets make this Halloween a bit gastronomical. Food is Fun... And its also the other way round. So why not juxtapose your creative streaks, passion for food and the Halloween-loving mind with some fun dishes which are spooky, arresting and yeah the spoilery part- really easy to prepare. To be really honest, there couldn't be a deadlier combo than these spooky preparations and the Halloween night horror movie marathons! So whom are we kidding here! Surprise yourself and the friends you invite in this Halloween with stuffs that are peeking right from your refrigerator..
So here's the first dish from my kitchen.. The recipe is as follows:
Blood-specked Deviled Egg Eyeballs
Ingredients:
Boil the eggs and cut each of them into two equal halves. Now carve out the yolk from them.
mix salt, grated cheese, butter with the yolk. (You can add mashed potatoes too). Check if the mixture is smoothed. Now with a spoon fill up the eggs with the yolk. Make onion rings and put it on for garnish so as to resemble a spooky eyeball. Now add a drop of fresh cream to fill the eye hole. Dip a clean toothpick in ketchup and doodle on the egg white to make them appear as fine lines of bloody tissues on the eye.. And you're done.. Easy huh! Told ya so. :)

Stuffed Chicken Bone-shaped Rolls
Ingredients:
- Flour
- boneless chicken pieces or keema
- one mashed potato
- Chopped onion
- Chopped garlic
- Ginger-garlic paste
- Coriander powder
- Kashmiri red chili powder
- Pepper
- Salt
- Oil
Process:
(Chicken stuffing)- Boil the chicken and finely chop it. On a pan, heat oil and add the onion, garlic and ginger-garlic paste one by one. Now add the chicken. Saute it. Add the mashed potato. Add salt, pepper, chili and coriander powder. Take it off the heat once the stuffing gets the perfect binding.
(For the rolls)- Make a regular dough and let it rest for a while. Now make small balls out of it like it is done while making puris. Roll it to the size of an average puri. Next add the chicken stuffing. Make sure the stuffing is limited within the center and avoid spreading it to the corners. Now fold it like a pipe. Softly press with hands. Cut an inch at the middle of both the ends of the rolls. Now fold each end to give it a bone like shape. Deep fry and serve it with a lip-smacking garlic-tomato dip.
Try it. It is super fun, innovative and unbelievably simple..
