Idly + Vada Sambhar
$9.99The "Best of Both Worlds" South Indian combo. This classic pairing brings together two feather-light, steamed Rice Idlis and one golden, crunchy Medu Vada. The idlis offer a soft, spongy texture that acts as a sponge for the broth, while the donut-shaped lentil vada provides a savory, spiced crunch and a rich, buttery finish.
