Long back my mother in law used to make Peanut rice often and we love it. My son loves to carry it in lunch box. In due course I completely forgot making that. Few days back I watched the video of Peanut rice posted by the food community, Home Cooking. Immediately I asked the recipe from my MIL , more or less similar to the one I watched and made it next day itself. A comfort lunch box recipe to relish with any vegetable stir fry and chips....
