Yeah, But there must be very careful to prepare that with proper method. Because, Once you miss the ratio of water adding to boil, Either its gets hard uncooked, or It get sticky like over cooked. Concern about cooking in cooker, 1-glass rice = to 2-glass of water. Where you get proper way of output cooked rice. Which will be suitable for Fried rice, Briyani, or any desert food items.

All this may be true, but why is it of interest todiabetics, who much
control their carb intake, meaning only occasional or tiny amuntf os rice
so why spend all this time and bandwidthon it in this group?

I read a book about some ballerinas in France in earlier times who were
imprisoned. They said that the diet they got in the prison was far better
than what they could get at the time on the outside. Their father had died
and their mother was an alcoholic. They did get paid to be in the ballet
and they also worked at a laundry. But pay for women in those days was very
paltry. Meals were described on the outside as a small roll for breakfast
if they were lucky, a piece of cheese for lunch and one in a while a chicken
for dinner.

In prison, they didn't get a lot of meat but they had beans almost daily. I
can't remember now if there was rice but there were a lot of other
vegetables and they said the portions were large.

Here, at least from what I have seen on TV, some prisons have stuff like
honey buns available at the commissary but one can only buy it if they have
money in their account and if they don't have infractions that prevent them
from buying. Such things are also traded among prisoners. But... The
meals provided, which might not be the most appealing, are nutritionally
complete and don't include sweets. So it is likely that the inmates are
eating a better diet than they had before. OTOH, I have seen some pretty
big female inmates on those shows who do love their honey buns.

I like to cook Basmati rice in a steam pan. Cook 5 min in the lower part
just under water. Then 5 min in the upper, sieve, part. Then add a tuna
steak and a tin of black beans in the same upper part on the rice and steam
for 6 min more.

My idea is move a lot and eat less of better food.

Its more fragrant and flavorful due to the high percentage of insect parts and rodent droppings it contains. If full of B Vitamins and protein. Sorta like eating a T Bone steak,

You are kidding, right? Hopefully you are using sarcasm for the OP's
benefit. Rice of any kind is little more than a filler.
