[quote=Anonymous]Basmati rice or even sona masoori rice grown in India is healthier.  US grown rice has a lot of arsenic in it because the soil has a lot of heavy metal poisoning. Since rice is a type of grass and will soak in any mineral or pollutants that is in the soil.  So always, rinse the rice three times, soak in water for some time, rinse and put fresh water and then cook.  Also, if trying to reduce the glycemic index, you can cook in lots of water and then drain off the water like when making pasta. This will further remove starch and also remove any arsenic.  To make my usuarice more amazing, I usually add a handful of peas and chopped carrots, some sliced lemon peels (white pith removed) while it is cooking. It is an easy way to improve taste and have a prettier looking dish.

For my curries -  I usually add a whole lot of onion, tomatoes, ginger, garlic and green cilantro, so that I get loads of veggies in the curry. Using cumin  and turmeric is also very good for your health too.  I normally add a handful of  chopped spinach in my chicken curries too to make it healthier.

You can add sides too. Make sides of raita (yogurt, shredded cucumber, green chilies, mint powder) and salad (grated carrots, microgreens,  lemon juice) to get even more veggies and probiotics.  Adding a daal gives you complete amino acids in the daal-rice combo.
