What is the right way of cooking rice to reduce starch and retain maximum nutrition

Amita Gadre, a Mumbai-based nutritionist posted a video on Facebook explaining the right way of cooking rice.In her video, she says that there is one way, where rice is boiled in water and excess water is drained out, with some soluble starch in it. And the other method is the absorption method, where you add just enough water in rice that gets absorbed completely. According to Gadre, there’s one more method of cooking rice that’s been found useful to reduce arsenic and it’s called ‘Par-boiling and refreshing water method’. According to this method, the rice is parboiled in excess water, after which the water is drained. After draining, the water is replaced and cooked again using a draining method. Also, there is another method, where the cooked rice is kept in the refrigerator overnight, which increases the resistant starch in it. You will be surprised to know that using either of the methods, you can reduce calories only by 15-20 per cent, as the body cannot absorb the resistant starch.
