Chef's Notes
Using cold leftover rice is the sacred secret here. Freshly cooked, hot rice contains too much surface moisture and will immediately turn into a sad, mushy paste when tossed with wet tomatoes.
Pro Tip
Do not rush the peanut roasting stage! Toasting them on low heat ensures they develop a deep, nutty crunch all the way to the center rather than just burning on the outside.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Turning the stove up to high heat while tempering the spices will instantly reduce your mustard seeds and lentils to bitter, smoking charcoal while your smoke alarm throws a tantrum.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
My chef claims this dish uses 'leftover' rice, but I think he just likes creating a puzzle to see if the king can tell the difference between fresh grain and day-old secrets.
The Culinary Science
Sweating the tomatoes with a lid traps steam, breaking down their pectin walls rapidly to create a rich, clinging sauce without adding a single drop of water.
