A moist, delicious rice dish made flavorful with the addition of Sambar powder, Indian seasoning for red lentils. The toasted sesame seeds add a tasty nuttiness to the dish. I used basmati rice for this, but jasmine works well, also and is more nutritious.

1 1/2 cups uncooked rice
2 tablespoons roasted unsalted peanuts
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
