South Indian Peanut Rice, Verkadalai Sadam Recipe

Here’s a zesty rice preparation dominated by the crunch and nutty flavour of peanuts, highlighted by notes of red chilli. Though used in a small quantity, the warm aroma and flavour of sesame seeds is quite notable in the South Indian Peanut Rice.



With a mix of awesome flavours, this rice dish is quite tasty by itself and can be served simply with a thayir pachadi (raita) or papad.

It is best had fresh while the taste of the roasted peanut is nice and strong, but can also be packed for lunch or had later.
