Simple chunky dal preparation with inclusion of one or more veggie, tempered with coconut gratings is termed as Poricha Kuzhambu , a very common dish made with green gram in many Tamilian homes. This is often served with plain rice topped with ghee but also taste good with roti or chapati. You can use a wide variety of veggies for this dish, my pick here is Green Capsicum.
