Notes

  1. Freshly crushed pepper adds amazing flavor to the rice. If you don't have the grinder, add extra pepper while roasting
  2. If the rice is hot, mix the rice gently with a fork else it might turn mushy. I would recommend mixing the rice after the rice is cool
  3. Adding a few drops of sesame oil while cooking rice helps fluffy rice
  4. You can also add a few drops of sesame oil to the cooked rice
  5. While measuring cooked rice, pack loosely to avoid rice turning mushy
  6. If you are using leftover rice, heat the rice, spread them on a plate then use it
  7. I have used sesame oil. Instead, use peanut oil or any cooking oil
  8. Adjust red chilli according to your spice
  9. I have used roasted peanuts hence added directly. If you are using raw peanuts; saute the first
  10. Prepare and eat peanut rice after a few hours for the best flavor
  11. While preparing any variety of rice, always keep extra rice handy. If variety rice turned spicy/ salty, it will be easy to fix
