Climate has become very chill suddenly in Chennai and I was having sore throat from yesterday. Was thinking what to do with it. My mother in law always suggests having black pepper Rasam if any one is having common cold and coughs at home and believe me its effective also. Normally this is the season when you are easily caught by cold because of climate change. So here is how I made this rasam which is called as Milagu Sathamdaum in typical Iyengar Language.
Pepper Rasam (Milagu Rasam)
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Serving: 4 persons

Red gram dal-6tsp
Black Pepper-3-4tsp
Red Chilies-4-5
