Potato Stuffed Spicy Baked Mushrooms

It was an impromptu decision to make these today. I had already prepared the lunch and all was set. Opened my refrigerator and saw I had a few button mushrooms left that should be put to use soon enough or else they may spoil. At first I thought let me make Mushroom Peas gravy and we will be done for the dinner. Then don't know what came to my mind, I decided to make these stuffed baked mushrooms, probably because I had one more leftover I could put to use. I had made aloo paranthas in the morning and had some potato mixture left in the fridge. I am glad I made these baked mushrooms .....These were delicious! We enjoyed having them as a snack.

 My husband poped one HOT mushroom in his mouth (as soon as they came out of oven) and it was a fun show to watch him jumping afterwards :D

These were so perfectly spiced, baked well and smelled so heavenly! And these are one of the quick and easiest appetizers/snack to make.
