It took less than fifteen minutes to prepare this delicious snack. Ensure you have fresh button mushrooms. You can include your own choice of veggies and add spices according to your taste buds for the filling. You might try paneer or tofu based filling as well.

A simple yet delicious starter/Appetizer and a perfect dish for potluck parties. You can even replace paneer with Tofu and prepare this dish. Just make sure you have soft, fresh paneer and bread crumbs. I used Keya (Low Oil absorbent)Japanese bread crumbs that was available in the nearby store.
