Notes

  1. 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
  2. Add a few drops of sesame oil while cooking rice 
  3. While measuring cooked rice, pack loosely to avoid rice turning mushy
  4. If you are using leftover rice, heat the rice, spread them on a plate then use it
  5. I have used sesame oil. Instead, use peanut oil or any cooking oil
  6. Adjust red chilli according to your spice
  7. Adjust cashew and peanut quantity according to your taste
  8. I have used roasted peanuts hence added directly
  9. Prepare and eat curry rice after few hours for the best flavor
  10. While preparing any variety rice,always keep extra rice handy. If variety rice turned spicy/ salty, it will be easy to fix
