One Indian ingredient that you don't see much outside of homes (or
India) is "poha", or "aval" in Tamil, or rice flakes. It's made by
parcooking and flattening rice, so it's similar to rolled oats, or
wheat/rye flakes. However, since it's usually husked/polished (and,
for that matter, parcooked) first, it "cooks" extremely quickly.

Can it be made at home, from ordinary rice? It sounds very useful.
