Black pepper is a great medicine to treat cold. Our ancestors say it provides relief from sinusitis and nasal congestion.
This is a dry gravy which can be accompanied with chapathi or rice. This recipe is from my MIL. Fresh ground pepper & cloves and curry leaves gives that extra flavor to the recipe.
