There two varieties of beaten rice thin and fat. They are so called because of their thickness. Beaten rice can be up to 4 times thicker than regular rice.

Flattened rice flakes

Beaten rice is also a convenience food made from rice pressed into flakes. It is reconstituted with hot water to make a rice porridge or paste, depending on the amount of water added. Beaten rice is very similar to instant mashed potatoes in appearance, uses, and spirit. Beaten rice is used frequently in Indian cuisine.

The dish made up from this is called "pohe" in marathi or "avlakki bhat" in kannada. In Tamil it is called Avool.
