It can be served just on its own over simply toasted points of pita bread or spread on just about anything. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. BHARE GUCHHI Stuffed Button Mushrooms. Preparation time : 5 minutes Cooking time: 5 minutes. Makes 20 pieces.

Heat the butter and fry the onion on a slow flame for 1 minute. 2. Add the green chillies and fry again for a few seconds. 3. Crumble the bread slices. 4. Add the crumbled bread, parsley, lemon juice and salt and cook for 1 minute. 5. Stuff the cavities of the mushroom caps(after cleaning and detaching the stem) with the stuffing. 6. Put the butter in a large frying pan and arrange the stuffed mushrooms in it.Cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Serve hot As for table clothes.....anything colorful will do, especially if it has perhaps a touch of gold to it or shiny thread, flowers small consistant patterns...can pull the table cloth off.....Fresh flowers on the table is not bad idea....dishes that have several places for various dips to go in....large round platters to hold finger foods. I do not know how far you need to go with the decorations or if it is just the table cloth. Or intricate tapestry in bright colors. And actyually you could get away with just a white sheet......why not?

Pickled turnips are a good condiment that would be easy to make(at home simply cut the turnips into hunks and place in pickling jar with pickles. Dessert might be rice pudding, always good or dates wrapped in conf. sugar.
