    Hi,

    Whatever may be the rice it is best if you could cook it indian type(putting the rice in boiled water and filtering the water).That would remove the starch from the rice which is safe to have.Avoid cooking in rice cooker.
    Basmati rice contains more starch and fat.But u can take it, if u can cook it by the method mentioned above.

    Regards,
