Last week when i was thinking about easy lunch box recipes,i reminded about this peanut rice.As Sendhil loves peanuts,i tried this recipe without any hesitation.I referred some websites for this recipe and came up with my own combination.Its a quick fix recipe for bachelors and working women to make it easily in their busy mornings.Even kids would love to take this rice for their lunch box.Just a papad or vadam is enough to have a box full of this peanut rice
.If u have roasted & de skinned peanuts ready in hand,this rice can be prepared very easily.It comes out flavourful and tasty too.Sendhil liked it very much.It can be made with leftover rice too.Friends,if u are looking for some easy lunch box ideas,do include this recipe.
To get a nice color for this rice,i used Byadgi chilli which is very famous here in Karnataka.It gives a nice red color to the dishes.So i use this chillies for my chutneys,kurma and bisibelebath.If u use normal red chillies,the color of this rice will vary but taste would be the same.
Ok,Lets see how to prepare this peanut rice
.
I clicked this picture in a hurry while Sendhil was rushing to his office.So bear with the clicks
