PEANUT RICE | EASY LUNCH BOX IDEAS


Peanut-rice-recipe-1
    I always love all mixed rice varieties. I don’t even need any side dish,just a papad or vadavam is enough for me and I eat unlimited Raised Eyebrow. For the same reason I rarely make,since vj also doesn’t prefer any mixed rice variety. When it comes to food, me and Vj are just contrast. I though rarely give him once in a while for his lunch. And I beg to adjust for a day Winking. But today I just made for myself and made it spicy as I wanted to eat something spicy to melt down my blocked nose.

Ingredients

Rice 1 cup
Roasted peanuts 1/2 cup
Turmeric 1/8 tsp
Ghee/ sesame oil 1 – 2 tblsp
Salt As needed

To Temper
Oil 1/2 tblsp
Mustard 1 tsp
Urad dal 1 tsp
Channa dal 1 tsp
Curry leaves 1 sprig
Method
  1. Pressure cook rice and cool down to make the cooked grains separate by adding required salt and ghee/sesame oil. De skin the peanuts. Roast the sesame seeds,chilli and lastly add the coconut and fry until golden. 1peanuts-horz
  2. Powder the chilli first roughly and then add other roasted items and peanuts. Grind into a coarse powder. 2powder-horz
  3. Temper with the items given under ‘To temper’ table and add turmeric to it.Add it to the rice and mix well. 3temper-horz

Serve with papad or any vadams, or if you like with any kootu or spicy curry.

Notes
  • I always soak rice for long hours to cook it with very less water and that gives u separate grains as well as soft to eat.
  • You can even add more sesame if you like to have that flavour dominating.
  • The ingredient ratio is different from the original recipe to adjust my taste.

I guess if cooked in Sesame oil itself it would give the taste of Puliodharai. Loved the clicks Raji. Thanks for sharing this simple one pot meal. A real timer saver for packing lunch boxes.
