We're not going to sink to knuckle dragging with bad puns are we?

Something new for me to look out for:

    Flattened rice flakes
    beaten rice

Uncooked flattened rice flakes (also called beaten rice) is a
dehusked rice which is flattened into flat light dry flakes. These
flakes of rice swell when added to liquid, whether hot or cold, as
they absorb water, milk or any other liquids.

It is normally used to prepare snacks or light and easy fast food in
a variety of Indian cuisine styles.

Flattened rice can be eaten raw by immersing it in plain water or
milk, with salt and sugar to taste, or lightly fried in oil with
nuts, raisins, cardamoms, and other spices. The lightly fried
variety is a standard breakfast in Malvaa region.

It can be reconstituted with hot water to make a porridge or paste,
depending on the proportion of water added. It is also eaten raw by
mixing with jaggery.

In Indore, poha is cooked with lightly frying mustard seeds,
turmeric, chili powder, finely chopped onions and then moistened poha
is added to the spicy mix and steamed for a few minutes. Jalebi is
often eaten with poha.

     Title: Aval/Rice Flakes Payasam (Microwave Method)
Categories: Indian, Rice, Desserts
  Servings: 8

      1 c  Rice flakes/aval
    2/3 c  Powdered Jaggery/vellam
      2 c  Coconut milk/thengai paal
      3 ts Ghee
      2 tb Cashews(finely chopped)
    1/2 ts Cardamom powder/ellakai podi
      2 tb Coconut pieces (fine chop)
      2 ts Raisins
           Edible camphor/pacchakarpoor
           -a small rice grain size

I made this simple aval payasam in microwave oven and it came out
super delicious. This is a easy to make payasam which hardly takes
10-15 minutes. My mom makes this payasam little different using
sugar and regular milk but here I used the jaggery and coconut milk.

In a microwave safe bowl take the powdered jaggery and add 1/2cup of
water, keep it in the microwave for 3-4 minutes or till it becomes a
thick syrup.Fry the cashews and coconut pieces separately in a tsp
of ghee,keep aside.

In an another big wide bowl heat the remaining ghee and fry the rice
flakes till it becomes golden color,now sprinkle 2tsp of water and
cook it in the microwave for a minute.

Add the melted jaggery to the cooked rice flakes through a strainer
and cook for 3-4 minutes.Now add the coconut milk and keep it for a
minute.

Then add the cardamom powder,fried cashews and coconut pieces.
Finally add the edible camphor and mix it well. Aval payasam is
ready.

I used the thin variety,so cooked it for a minute,if it is a thick
variety add some more water and cook it for 3-4 minutes.

Payasam gets thicker on cooling,if it it too thick add 1/2cup of
boiled regular milk to get the consistency.

After adding the coconut milk do not cook for more than a minute or
two, otherwise it may curdle.
