This is quite a shift away from a standard bowl of morning cereal. It’s pure comfort food and so very easy to make. The texture of steamed puffed rice almost turns into a polenta, soft yet light and creamy. Try this for a new and exotic start to your day!

Flattened puffed rice is easy to find in any ethnic food store and can be either deep fried and seasoned with Indian spices for a crispy snack or use it as I do in this recipe – showing its versatility in its preparation.
