Low calorie rice

Rice contains starch, and that is where it gets the calories. Try this simple way to cook the rice -this gets most of the starch out and you get low calorie rice.
1. Take whatever amount of rice you want (2,3,4, or up to 5 cups- can take more rice also; just make sure you get a really large-sized pot)
2. Put the rice in a bowl
3. Wash the rice repeatedly till the cloudy water turns clear (usually takes 5-6 washes)
4. Drain the rice and put it in a large pot.
5. Add water. The water should be 4-5 times the amount of rice. (The idea is that you cook the rice in a lot of water so that the starch comes out in the water, and then you drain the water.)
6. Add a few drops of oil and a pinch of salt for taste (optional-this makes the grains separate and look nice and fluffy.)
7. Boil the rice till it is almost as soft as you wish it.
8. Drain the water using a strainer.
9. Put the rice back in the pot.
10. Cover and cook it on very low flame for a couple of minutes (this step steam cooks the rice - again to make it nice and fluffy.)
11. Enjoy your delicious, starch-free, low-calorie rice
Let me know how it works out!
