  7. Is this the thanjavur style ? I can't remember my mom adding jeeragam for poricha kozhambu. But this is an all type favorite. Paruppu with poricha kozhambu is the right combination. Paruppu is nothing but tuvar dal, but in tamil nadu, the dal is not watery but thick like a pudding. This is then mixed with rice and a little bit of clarified butter aka ghee + salt to taste. Then this kind-of dry rice is then eaten with poricha kozhambu on the side. yum yum
