Semolina brittle Zoodles with caramelised onions and cashews

My Grandmother is very fond of Vermicelli and she makes these with nothing but potato, tomato and peas fried in Asafoetida and carom seeds. But over the years I have grown out of its taste.

Recently, a friend's mom made these and I was like, I have to try these with my own twists and viola! I made these with a good dose of nuts, veggies and lemon.

This is as healthy a breakfast as Poha or idli also known as upma in some parts of India.

And by the looks of it, you can totally make your kids believe that these are small Zoodles and, Do they not love noodles ?
