Beaten rice or flattened rice comes in handy if one wants a quick fix breakfast. That is what I ate yesterday You just mix it with scraped coconut, jaggery, a little of ghee and cardamom powder.
Flattened rice can be used for making several other snacks and those take longer such as one makes adding boiled potatoes - taking some cooking time.
Our pantry always has flattened rice. One can even pour some hot milk with sugar and eat it just as one would eat porridge.

@allknowing Without cooking 
? Interesting. I wonder if we can get that at our Indian markets - we have several around (I need to learn more about Indian foods!).

We get that processed in stores. There are two types thin and thick. I always go for the thin variety as it can be eaten without cooking

@much2say The thicker variety is used in cooking but what I used is the thinner variety that you see in the photo. You can make sweet laddoos using this variety

@allknowing ohh okay I was thinking the jaggery makes it creamy. I can’t recall what jaggery is. I do remember you writing about this flattened rice stuff before and at that time it was the first I had heard of it. It’s so neat to learn new things from other areas.

This is a dry snack unlike your oatmeal. But yes flattened rice can be had with milk and sugar as well

@allknowing It takes three minutes to cook oat, it is really fast. The fine oat becomes a paste, but we do not like that.

@allknowing We do have a variety of specialist stores now but, not being adventurous cooks, we rarely visit them.
