ABOUT Dadpe Pohe RECIPE

Dadpe Pohe,is essentially a healthy, light, refreshing, snacky and a typically Maharashtrian dish which is served cold or at room temperature. It makes for an ideal lunchbox recipe as it's fuss - free, light on the tummy and easy to pack and eat without the fuss of heating it up, one can simply dig into it with a spoon and relish it. My mother used to pack this for my brother and me in our lunchboxes and my North Indian classmates used to particularly love the tangy and delicious flavours of this dish.
