Vermicelli nut idli is the perfect choice for those days when you feel like having idli, but have no batter; or when you wish to have a slightly spicy idli. Made of vermicelli and semolina, tempered graciously with broken cashews, this can be had as a starter or as a full meal.

The added sourness of curds and the taste of vermicelli with the crunch of cashew-nuts make this a great idli.
