ABOUT PEANUT RICE

Vegan and Gluten-free, Peanut rice is a spicy, delicious and flavourful delicacy from south india made with roasted peanuts, rice and few little spices.

In addition to Peanut rice, these rice are also named as groundnut Masala rice and verkadalai sadam in regional language.

Verkadalai means Peanut and Sadam stands for cooked rice.

These rice is also served in couple of south indian temples as nivedyam and prasadam.

UTILITY OF LEFTOVER RICE

Earlier also we have made certain recipes wherein leftover rice are used or can be used like veg fried rice, Curd rice, Lemon rice and Coconut rice recipe.

The best part of this recipe is that it utilises the rice left from previous day and usually served as breakfast or lunch.

Though it is not a bar to cook groundnut rice and you can always make it with freshly made rice also.

But make sure rice shouldn’t be sticky. Also, if making with fresh rice, then let rice turn cool before using.

PRESSURE COOKER OR INSTANT POT COOKING

No, not at all. You don’t require both these appliances to make such rice and gives the best result in open pan only.

If you ever try these rice either in pressure cooker or IP, you won’t get that authentic taste and loose that crunch of peanuts and dals.

APPROPRIATE FOR PACKING

Either it is the lunch box of kids or elders, this is the perfect recipe to go in.

But if making for kids, make sure about the quantity of dry red chillies your kids can accept.

Also they are perfect to go in your picture menu. Even if they turn cool, still tastes amazing.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

Peanut rice are so delicious that you really don’t need any accompaniment with this but if you like, you can pair it with yoghurt or raita.
