"Take a fistful of  fresh black pepper, and you can boldly eat in your enemy's house" are my grandma's words. Such is the power and efficacy of Black Pepper, which acts as a great antidote for snake-venom.
Pepper relieves from respiratory disorders, cold, cough, constipation, anemia, impotency, muscular strains, pyorrhea, diarrhea and heart disorders.
This Rasam can be refrigerated and used after re-heating for 10 days also. Rasam will stay fresh. Can be used as a soup too.
