Nutritionally it is a good dish because it contains vermicelli which is made up of wheat semolina. It is less in calories and contains carbohydrates. It keeps the little tummies full for a longer time.
I make this dish frequently for my son whenever he craves for instant noodles. He loves it and am satisfied mommy too! #bbcreatorsclub #regional #regionaltiffins #nutrition
