2. In a pressure cooker, add Rice, Water, Green Chillies Paste, Cumin & Sesame seeds. Pressure cook for 3 whistles and allow the cooker to cool down on its own.
3. Check the consistency of the cooked Rice, it should be lumpy like Khichdi. If you feel the rice seems separated after cooking, add 1 Cup more water and cook it for another 1-2 whistles.
4. Transfer cooked Rice to a bowl and allow it come to room temperature.
5. Assemble the ‘Sev/Chakri Mould’, use the Chakri (Star) making plate. Fill up the mould with the rice mixture, screw the lid and make chips on a cloth. Do not worry about the shape& size.

TIPS:
1. If you do not want to pile on calories by deep frying it, cook them in microwave – on high power for about 20-30 seconds. It tastes yummy too!
2. I am using small grain rice because it is economical when you plan to make large quantities. If you do not have small grain use the long grain rice (basmati).
