VEG SIZZLER WITH MUSHROOM AND CHEESE

Veg Sizzler With Mushroom and Cheese is delicious, flavorful, complete meal and my family's favorite. A plate with full of veggies, rice, patties, sauce and fries.

After marriage if there is anything that I  have missed after my mom's food, then its sizzler from my two favorite restaurants in Mangalore 🙂 So I do it more often, specially on weekends / holidays and recreate those beautiful memories.

Only thing when preparing sizzler is that  you need to plan it ahead because the recipe is lengthy, but let me tell you its very easy and worth it. Assembling the sizzler is always a treat to watch.
