Rice has a high glycaemic index and can raise the blood sugar levels quickly, which is why I have replaced it with fibre-rich kodri. If you do not find kodri easily, use dalia or buckwheat that are equally good. Rich in nutrients like calcium, iron and folic acid, this dish is a completely healthy meal indeed!
