- Heat oil - add the items listed under 'to temper' let it splutter.Then in a mixing bowl add rice, peanut powder and tempered items.Mix well.Check for salt and adjust accordingly.
My Notes:
- You can make the spice powder a day ahead and just mix it the next day to pack for lunch.
- While grinding just pulse and grind else the spice powder will become sticky.
- Adding a tsp of gingelly oil(nalennai) while mixing rice keeps the rice moist.
