Adding brown rice to your diet

The normal white rice we eat is brown rice minus the nutritional value. In the name of milling and polishing, we remove  67% of vitamin B3, 80% of vitamin B1, 90% of vitamin B6, half and phosphorus, manganese and iron. 

The need to add brown rice to our diet is universally known. The thing we dont know is how to add it to our diet. Only a very few people can actually cook and digest it directly. Most of the people are like me. Frankly, they just cant eat it! 

So what I do, is add it to idli rice in the ratio of 3(brown rice):7(white rice). We get to eat brown rice and we dont even have a slight change in our diet. None of my family has ever been able to find the difference between the normal idli and the idli made with addition of brown rice. 

You have to try it to believe it!
