flattened rice
Beaten grain flakes
Flattened rice is rice that has been parboiled, then rolled or pressed flat into light, dry flakes.
A staple in South and Southeast Asian cuisines, it rehydrates quickly and appears in snacks, breakfast dishes, and sweets: poha, chivda, beaten rice with yogurt.
The flakes range from thin and delicate to thick and chewy depending on processing.
