About Boiled White Rice
Plain boiled basmati rice is the base of most desi rice meals. Cooked rice is about 70% water, which is why 100 g is only 130 kcal even though dry rice is 360 kcal per 100 g. One cooked cup is roughly 210 kcal.
Tip: Measure rice cooked, not dry — a quarter cup of dry rice becomes about three-quarters of a cup cooked. Cooling rice overnight also slightly lowers its digestible starch.
