Peanut Rice is a South Indian style rice dish made with roasted and ground peanuts, lentils and basic spices. It is aromatic and mildly spicy in taste with dominant nutty flavor coming from the peanuts. Peanut rice can be made using fresh steamed rice or with left-over rice and serves as a delicious lunch box option with some salad, chips or curd. Peanut rice has a lovely crunch in every bite and is an onion-garlic free vegan and gluten-free preparation.
