Vengaya kose is a very common Chettinad side dish for idli/dosa. When I have to prepare something which is of Chettinad style, I usually get recipe from my grandma or mom. These days both of them are really busy with their work. So got this recipe from Solai Achi website , here we can find most of the chettinad special recipes.
