Tips:
1. When in hurry I simply mix all the ingredients of stuffing and skip sauteing of veggies & spices in oil .In this case ensure all veggies are completely dried by draining excess water & then absorbing excess water by wrapping them in tissue paper & then cutting them
2. Use any veggies of your choice
