NOTE: This dish should be served hot. A small variation in its usual prepartion ie I've add course pepper powder instead of pepper corns cause when I added pepper corns my H separated and ignored it. When I added half portion corn + half portion course powder he ate pepper . Avoid if u don't want to do the same.
