Aubergine, Mushroom and Cheese Diyas!?!

Happy Diwali!
Surprised with the unbelievable title? Sorry, please don’t think any further, they are not real Diyas!
Deepavali festival is happiness unlimited! The traditional Harathulu, Bommala Koluvu, Lakshmi Devi Pooja, traditional sweets and special foods, house illumination with Diyas and electric lamps, Crackers, exchange of gifts  and happy time with family and friends…makes the festival very special, every year.
Apart from the traditional festivities; it also calls for pleasant surprises; with some exotic foods, gifts and extraordinary fireworks! This Diwali, as an evening snack; I secretly prepared tiny pizzas for the family with grilled Aubergine slices as base, topped with sliced and cooked mushrooms mixed with cheese-spread, oregano and chili flakes and topped with mozzarella cheese and an almond crown that appears like a wick! 
You can see these diyas in the attached pictures and also of the tomato diyas! I made at an earlier Diwali festival.
