I always faced difficulty in cooking brown rice. With this recipe i have mastered the art of cooking it. I tried the pressure cooker method mentioned in the video also and that turns out to be wonderful too.

I love eating health food and try and always substitute white rice with brown rice. Brown rice is low on the glycemic index and breaks down slower into your blood stream.
