Directions

  • Pressure cook the rice in 2 cups water for 10 minutes on a low flame after the first whistle. Open the lid only after 1/2 an hour. Mash well. Add sesame oil and salt. Mix and keep aside.
  • Heat oil in a pan and saute the eggplants, prawns, chicken and sausages separately. (Add more oil at this stage if required). Drain and keep aside.
  • To assemble - In a greased sushi mould first line up with some rice. Then add the chutneys. Top it up with any of the sushi fillings according to your preference. Sprinkle some chaat masala and red chili powder.
  • Cover it with more of rice. All the time keep dipping your fingers in the water while working with the rice. Place any topping of your choice - either prawns, sausage, chicken, eggs, etc. as the last layer.
  • Close the lid of the mould and press tightly. Gently demould it and transfer to a serving dish. Serve as appetizers or main course with either green chutney or sweet chutney.
  • Alternately in the absence of the Sushi moulds, it can be done with your hands. Take a small ball of rice and shape like a rectangular or oblong shaped koftas.
  • Press it tightly with your fingers, apply some chutney over it and place any topping over it. Securely tie it with a spring onion and serve with green chutney / sweet chutney a la Indian style. Serve these appealing small bites in your kids lunch box. They will simply enjoy their lunch.
