In a kadai put the oil and when it is hot add mustard. When it pops up add bengal gram dhal, cashew nuts and pea nuts, red chillies, and fry till the dhals turn light brown. Add curry leaves and turmeric powder. Stir well. Add cooked rice and sprinkle the Paruppu Podi and salt. Mix well and remove it.
Note: Paruppu (Dhal) Powder recipe available in Masala Powder Section. You can use the ready made Powder available in stores. It is an easy and ideal lunch box recipe and you can make it with left over cooked rice.
