Is basmati rice, cooked good for weight loss?

Why does this differ from other calorie sites?
Two reasons. First, most sites publish a per-100 g figure from a US database and leave you to guess what a roti or a katori weighs; this page states the serving weight up front. Second, home-cooked Indian food varies enormously with oil and ghee — the figures here assume boiled and drained, no fat added. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
