Peanut Rice (Quick Indian Lunch Box Recipe) | Peanut Flavoured Rice for Lunch Box

Rice flavoured with crunchy peanuts is another common South Indian dish, very easy to prepare too.

I add a bit of yogurt for extra flavour and I mostly serve this rice with spicy potato sabzi so the yogurt balances the flavours perfectly.

 

You may carry this in your lunch box and it tastes great even with out re-heating. Just make sure you consume it within 6 hours.

 

For this simple Indian Lunch Box recipe you need

Cooked rice 2 cups
1/2 cup peanuts
1 tsp grated ginger
4/6 curry leaf
1 tsp crushed red chili
1 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 cup yogurt
1 tsp hing
2/3 tsp sesame oil
salt to taste

                

 

Add oil and crackle the mustard seeds, then saute the ginger,hing,curry leaf and the crushed red chili.

 

 Then add the crushed peanuts and saute till light brown .Add in salt and the yogurt, keep a very low flame as the yogurt can curdle.

Now add in he cooked rice and mix well.

It is done now, really simple I told you.
