The stuffing can be prepared as per our own wish. I have shared a basic way of making the stuffing. In that we can add or reduce the vegetables, can even add paneer, mushroom or cheese too.

The one and only thing we need to make sure is the stuffing should not be thin/runny. We should make the stuffing as dry as possible while cooking the vegetables, then only while cooking , the masala will not come out .
