Type of beaten rice eaten in Nepal

About this dish

Flattened rice is a preparation of rice made from raw, toasted, or parboiled rice grains pounded into flat flakes. It is traditional to many rice-cultivating cultures in Southeast Asia and South Asia. It is also known as rice flakes, beaten rice, pounded rice, pressed rice or chipped rice. It is toasted, fried, or used as ingredients or toppings for other dishes. Depending on their use and texture, it can be crispy, crunchy, chewy, or soft. Much like oatmeal, the term "flattened rice" and its equivalents in other languages may refer to the ingredient itself or a dish based on the ingredient.
