Chiura (Beaten Rice) in Australia

Chiura is beaten rice — rice that is boiled, flattened and dried into crisp flakes, eaten as a snack or light meal with yoghurt (dahi-chiura), tea, or alongside choila, bhatmas and achar in a khaja set. It needs no cooking, keeps for months, and is the base of samay baji. Every Nepali grocery store in Australia stocks chiura, and it is a fixture at festivals and community events.
