Peanut Rice Recipe | How to make Peanut Rice | No Onion No Garlic (Festival special Recipes)

Hi friends, Today I will post on how to make peanut rice recipe. Peanut rice or peanut powder rice can be made with leftover rice. Another one pot meal, tummy full and friendly. I have picked it from one of my colony neighbouring aunty. Last year during Karthikam, we had kitty party. In that whoever is throwing the party have to cook without onion and garlic. When the turn came to Anuradha aunty, she made 6 varieties of rice without onion and garlic. She prepared Pulihora, coconut rice, vangi bath, peanut rice, sesame seeds rice and curd rice.I too have all of them except two, sesame seeds rice and peanut rice. I have decided to include them also in the blog. This week I made peanut rice, next week have plans to make sesame seeds rice, rice with kandi podi. It is also a very simple and easy recipe. Another one pot meal, but we need to make powder.
