Rice is not the enemy. The plate around it usually is.

What lowers the spike

Vinegar acid (kachumber, achar), protein-first sequencing, longer-chain fats, fermented sides, and a 10-minute post-meal walk.

What raises it

Rice + sugary drink, rice + low-fibre veg, rice without protein, and eating after 9pm.
