Brown Rice is super nutritious and if one learns to cook brown rice properly, it is a delight to have, excellent while losing weight. Once you know how to prepare Brown Rice, rest is simple. You can take any cooked white rice recipe and replace white rice with brown one.

I have already written about Brown Lemon Rice Recipe, which has been highly appreciated. Today I am going to talk about another form of Brown Rice which I have recently tried. At least one preparation of Brown Rice has been a part of at least one of my weekly meals, sometimes even two.
