After 5 min stir it again & add the chopped capsicum & spring onions to the pan and give it a stir, again cover the pan with the lid for a good 15 min for the meat to get boiled. After 15 min if you see the meat is cooked you can open the lid and put the pan on high flame so as to dry the excess water. Once the water gets dry, turn off the gas and let the cooked minced meat cool for a while. Once it cools down take a spoonful of this and fill it in the hollow mushrooms. After all the mushrooms are stuffed, sprinkle shredded mozzarella on its top and bake for 20 mins @ 150 degree celcius. Finally your beautiful stuffed baked mushrooms are ready. The entire process of creation of the sculptures is a holy process which starts during 'Rathayatra' festival and ends with 'Chakkhu Daan', when the eyes of the sculptures are painted on Mahalaya or the first day of the puja.
