I have grown up in a family where Peanut Powder is a staple in the pantry. So I was surprised to find out that Peanut Rice is a delicacy in some households! I came to know of this particular variation from my cousin, Sowmya. She tells me that it is prepared very frequently in some households. I also realized that this rice can be put together in a very little time and can prove to be invaluable for some :)


Peanut Rice


Ingredients -


Rice cooked 2 cups
Peanuts roasted handful
Coriander seeds roasted 1 tsp
Sesame Seeds roasted 1 Tbsp
Red Chillies 1-2 (or as per taste)
Turmeric 1/4 tsp
Salt to taste
Seasoning (Oil 1 Tbsp, Chana Dal 1 tsp, Urad Dal 1 tsp, Cumin seeds 1/2 tsp, Mustard seeds 1/2 tsp, Curry leaves few, Asafoetida a pinch)
Lemon juice as needed


Method Of preparation -


Grind roasted peanuts, roasted coriander seeds, roasted sesame seeds and red chillies. Set aside.


Spread the cooked rice in a serving platter and set aside to cool down. Better if the rice is already cold!


In a small sauce pan, prepare the seasoning by adding oil and the rest of the seasoning ingredients. 


After the mustard seeds pop and the dals are brown enough, add turmeric and salt. Remove from fire.


Mix this seasoning and the peanut powder into the cooled rice and mix well.


Check for taste and squeeze in the required lemon juice.


Serve it with Raita and enjoy!
