Notes
- You can make the spice powder a day ahead and just mix it the next day to pack for lunch.
- While grinding just pulse and grind else the spice powder will become sticky.
Adding a teaspoon of oil while mixing rice keeps the rice moist. - If you do not have peanut oil replace it with gingelly oil or normal cooking oil.
