[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am an Indian. Rice can be sometimes be unhealthy because of the fact that there is a lot of arsenic in soil that rice can suck up while growing. Also, high glycemic index. But then so much of our food supply and soil around the world is contaminated and we all just have to be careful about what we eat. And carb-y food from any cuisine in excess is bad. Also - rice and dal combo provides all the essential amino acids that a human body requires. Washing rice multiple times and removing the starchy water (ie cooking it like pasta) is the best way to remove arsenic and reduce the glycymic index. OP, just like you were probably introduced to cuisines from around the world here, why not introduce your ILs to Pakistani cuisine? All the biryanis, kebabs, currys and wonderful meat dishes? Also, go beyond the nans - keema parantha, sheermal, rumali roti? They will love you. [/quote]
