Peanut Rice
This is not the traditional Peanut Rice. I do not have any curry leaves so I decided to infuse a different flavor to the dish. With all the other typical ingredients used in Peanut rice I added some Khus Khus or poppy seeds. Khus Khus is an ingredient used in many Bengali dises. i wanted to see how it would taste in a South Indian dish. The fusion worked out great.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups cooked rice
2 cups peanuts
3 dry red chillies
1/2 cup chana dal
4 tbsp khus khus
2 onions, chopped fine
1 tbsp mustard seeds
1 tbsp urad dal
a pinch asefoetida
1/2 cup grated coconut (optional)
Roast the peanuts, dry red chillies, chana dal and khus khus together. Dry grind them along with the grated coconut to a rough powder.
Heat some ghee. Add the mustard seeds, urad dal and asefoetida.
Saute the onions and then add the peanut paste. Fry for a minute or two. Add the cooked rice and salt. Fry on medium heat for five minutes till the rice and peanut masala are well mixed.
