Flattened or pressed rice, commonly known as chura, is rice which is flattened into flat, light, dry flakes originating from Indian cuisine. These flakes of rice swell when added to liquid, whether hot or cold, as they absorb water, milk or any other liquids. These are available in various thickness, depending on the dish one is using in.

Poha, made from flattened rice, is a very popular easy-to-cook, nutritious snack. It is often eaten for breakfast or brunch.
