DADPE POHE (beaten rice, poha, aval)

This dish is the speciality of Maharashtra.  My colleague used to bring this in the office and I  used to grab the tiffin box of hers  as I love to eat this.

Dadpe pohe is made with thin poha (beaten rice). In this no cooking is involved only mixing up of all the ingredients and serve garnished with nylon sev and roasted papad.  Since we are mixing onion, cucumber, carrots, peanuts, coriander leaves etc. it is a  healthy breakfast for everyone.
