Instructions

  1. Toast the peanuts dry in a pan over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring, until golden.
  2. Add the flattened rice to the pan and toast it for 2 minutes over low heat, just to make it crisper.
  3. Finely slice the onion, dice the tomato and chop the chilli very finely.
  4. In a bowl, mix the rice, peanuts, vegetables, cumin, turmeric and salt.
  5. Drizzle with oil and lime juice, then mix gently so the rice doesn't crush.
  6. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving so the rice soaks up the flavours.

Variations and tips

Using what's available here. Flattened rice can be found in Indian grocery shops; otherwise use thin rice flakes quickly toasted in a pan.
