Since my childhood I just love rice.....doesn't matter if it's  plain,fried, pulav or biryani...and very lucky that my family loves it too...may be because I am bit lazy too make many chapattis, so always have addition of rice plate to our meal...I made this peanut rice months back,recipe was sitting on my doc. So I thought I better give trial to this one, and you guys you give your joyful verdicts!!
