A note from Chris:
“The crown prince is my absolute favourite type of pumpkin, it’s so sweet and delicious, grown in Cambridgeshire for M&S, and it works perfectly in a curry. This is a real hearty family meal for Halloween, and you can also enjoy it all year round by using butternut squash when pumpkin isn’t available, enjoy!”
