Namaskaram Deepa. Yes,will definitely plan an episode on cooking brown rice. Thanks and regards Sujata from Munch and Mull 🙏😊

Namaskaram. Basically brown rice or white rice can be raw or parboiled. When rice with husk is boiled partially,dried and dehusked we get parboiled rice,where the nutrients from the husk enter the rice. Rice is dehusked and then sent to the mill for removal of bran partially or completely. If bran is removed completely,we get white polished rice. If partially removed,we get partial brown or red rice depending on colour of bran. If bran is retained completely,we get brown or red rice. Brown or red rice is also called unpolished rice Thus now unpolished brown rice can be raw or parboiled. For diabetics, brown or red unpolished rice is extremely healthy as it is rich in fibre and nutrients . Fibre lowers the glycemic index. Parboiled brown rice is much more nutritious as nutrients in the husk also enters the bran 😀😀🙏🙏. Regards Sujata from Munch and Mull

Every brown rice is different in texture. In general full bran rice need atleast 4 to 5 hours soaking in water. Discard water and then pressure with one rice to 3.5 water. cook it for about 3 whistles and 10 minutes on some. For partial brown rice, soaking not essential. One rice to three water, pressure cook for three whistles and then 5 minutes on sim flame. It requires a little trial and error to get it right with various different varieties of Brown unpolished rices. Regards Sujata from Munch and Mull 🙏

Yes. Bio Basics has a good variety of organic traditional rices,millets, millet pohas etc. It's not my website. 😀😀😀. I source my Organic groceries, vegetables, fruits from Bio Basics.🙏🙏🙏. Regards Sujata from Munch and Mull

Namaskarams Prasanna. Have missed your responses to many recent videos 😊😊😊. Yes, you could use brown basmati rice. You can use black whole urad also. In case you are using black whole urad,you can use four cups rice to one urad. Regards Sujata from Munch and Mull 😊🙏

@@munchandmull Thank you. I am catching up 😀. We get brown sona masuri and brown basmati rice here in Seattle. We use brown basmati rice in our daily diet. We have stopped using white rice since 2019. What are the varieties of brown rice you are using? Also, I tried contacting Bio Basics (I sent an email). Unfortunately, I didn’t get a response. Will they be able to ship products to us in Seattle? We are super interested in their products.

Namaskaram Prasanna. As of now Bio Basics operate within India. If you could mark a copy of the mail you sent to Biobasics to me @ munchandmull@gmail.com, I could find out,why they have not responded to the mail.😊😊 Another alternative is that in case somebody is travelling from India to Seattle,they could carry a few Biobasics stuff for you, within the limited weight restrictions by flights😊😊. I use unpolished Rajamudi,Sona Masuri, Valliachanal, Raktashali, Mapillai sambha rice for regular use. Alternative them each day. For pulav, fried rice etc use, Unpolished Basmati, thuyamalli Fragrant variety, Kichdi Sambha. Plus generally use a lot of kodo millet too!! For rotis,I use, wheat,Ragi flour,rice flour,jowar,bajra alternatively. This mix gives a good balanced of nutrient dense carbs. 😀😀🙏🙏. Regards Sujata from Munch and Mull

I have a cousin , staying at Seattle. Will find out, which part of Seattle 😀😀. Could mail you about him at your mail id. He works for Microsoft. Just in case, you know each other 😀😀. When my son visited them in 2016, they arranged my sons Carnatic music concert at a nearby Lakshmi Venkateshwara temple there. 😀😀Regards Sujata from Munch and Mull

@@munchandmull That is awesome. We live in Bothell (a Seattle suburb). I have forwarded you the email address I sent to Bio Basics. Thanks!

Yes,red rice or unpolished rice has much of the bran intact,and so is nutrient rich. The bran also contributes to fibre and thus the glycemic index of unpolished rice is lower than white polished rice. This unpolished brown or red rice is good for Diabetics too!!! Thanks and regards Sujata from Munch and Mull 🙏😊

Tried including brown rice in lunch/ dinner. Both me & my husband feel bloated. Any suggestions

Thank you so much for your quick response. Just one more question. Should we buy par boiled brown rice for making idli?

I generally use raw rice and add a cup of soaked brown rice poha or a cup of cooked raw rice while grinding. This makes the Idli very soft. Regards Sujata from Munch and Mull

I have been using organic brown rice, for more than 7 years now. I have found it extremely healthy. Brown rice with its bran rich in fibre and essential vitamins lowers glycemic index, especially good for diabetics. It's good for everyone,as it helps detoxification due to fibre content. White rice is unhealthy for the body as it only contains starch. Thats my take on on use of brown rice. I would encourage use of brown rice and millets which are extremely healthy. Regards Sujata from Munch and Mull 😊🙏

@@munchandmull thanks for your reply :)

Namaste Latha. It's important to switch to whole grains like unpolished brown rice with bran,millets etc so that fibre content goes up which helps to reduce cholesterol. Avoid processed food like noodles, pasta,White bread, white sugar which add to calories. Eat lot's of seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables. Drink enough water,a good amount of physical activity like exercise or brisk walking together contributes to weight loss. In case you wish to know of an Aayush premium certified safe Ayurvedic wellness supplement which increases immunity, anticancer,increases metabolic rate and contributes to weight loss,you could mail me with your fone number at munchandmull@gmail.com. Regards Sujata from Munch and Mull 😊😊🙏 If

@@munchandmull ध

Namaskaram Gill. Yes,Basmati white rice definitely is not fibre rich. I don't know if in Australia you could get Indian traditional brown rice varieties. If you can mail me at munchandmull@gmail.com,I can send the link of the organic store,Bio Basics which has a huge variety of organic unpolished brown and red rice varieties. I buy from them. But as of now, they deliver within India only. I will send the link via mail, only for you to look at the variety. You cannot place overseas order. 😊😊😊. But if you find it of interest,we could explore asking them if they would be able to courier you. Regarding diabetes, along with high fibre diet, physical activity, can suggest an ayurvedic wellness supplement in the form of an instant coffee which contains Salacia reticulata,a herb that helps reduce hbalc values. It's a carbohydrates blocker. Regarding your husband's, cholesterol levels, he should avoid nonvegetarian food and switch to plant based diet coupled with physical activity like brisk walking etc Can suggest an Ayurvedic antioxidant supplement for reducing cholesterol levels. It's a high antioxidant fruits juice concentrate. He could have it, provided he is not Diabetic. These supplements are very safe, natural and effective. You could mail me at munchandmull@gmail.com if you wish to know more about these supplements. Can arrange to ship to Australia. Regards Sujata from Munch and Mull

Namaskaram. All unpolished rices are brown or red,as per colour of bran. Rajamudi is a pinkish rice. Sonamasuri is light brown. Valliachennal is dark maroon. So brown rice or unpolished rice are general terms. Regards Sujata from Munch and Mull 😊🙏

Namaskaram Suguna. I use the mixie only to grind my brown rice. Just keep adding little water,so that grinding becomes easy. Regards Sujata from Munch and Mull 😊🙏

Thanks Niraj. Regards Sujata from Munch and Mull 🙏😊

Urad daal with skin adds to fibre and micronutrients. Regards Sujata from Munch and Mull 🙏

Both can be prepared. Regards Sujata from Munch and Mull

Minimum quantity will be about half a glass( a small steel coffee glass) of urad dal to two glasses of rice. This will make about 8 to 10 dosas. You can keep the batter in fridge and use it for about three times. The dosa will turn out so tasty that you may end up eating 4 instead of 2.☺️😀🙏. Regards Sujata from Munch and Mull

Namaste Shalini. Basically unpolished rice with bran intact is called brown rice. Depending on bran colour,it could be brown or red rice. Bran is the outer fibre and nutrient rich cover of the rice grain, which is removed during polishing to get white rice. So basically brown rice comes in many varieties from different states of india! Rajamudi from Karnataka, Mapillai sambha from Tamilnadu, Valliachennal from Kerala, Indrayani from Maharashtra etc. Hope you got the idea. Regards Sujata from Munch and Mull 🙏😊
