Red Thai Fish with Brown Rice.

                      Usually my choice of starch is white rice with curries. However, I try to incorporate as much grains as i can because I don't get the wheat fibre. In Pakistani Cuisine, we depend on Roti ( something like Wheat Tortilla) and Naan ( very similar to pizza bread) to fullfill the carb/fibre needs.                     Anyways, I tried curry with brown rice to be healthier and cut down and white starch. It was satisfying for dinner EntrĂ©e and brown rice texture was very similar to wheat oats, very grainy, plump and had a bite to it.                     The red curry was made with a spice paste that is available in most grocery stores. The ingredients are as follows: 1 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp red paste 1/4 cocunut milk (freeze the rest, if out of a tin) 2 tsp lemon juice 1/2 tsp sugar 1 fillet of fish 1/2 a cup of brown rice 1/2 a cup chopped green pepper 2 green chile Procedure: Sautee the paste and some basil leave ( optional) and add coconut milk afte
