Capsicum Lauki and Chana dal is a fantastic curry preparation that is slightly dry and can be eaten with roti, chapatti, paratha or rice. This dish is subtly spiced, comforting and nutty to taste. The chana dal gives a nice feel on bite apart from its nutty taste. The dish is an excellent mix of two humble vegetables along with the lentil (Bengal gram) making the taste unique.
