Cold medicine

Having a bit of a cold, and my head was blocked. My wife made the following dish her grandmother used to give her when she was having a cold.

Ingredients:
  1. Two hard boiled eggs, cut in half.
  2. 1 soup spoon with black pepper corns
  3. 2 soup spoons with geera seeds
  4. a bit of oil
  5. a bit of salt
  6. boiled rice
  7. A handkerchief

In a mixie, grind the pepper corns and geera seeds finely. Heat oil in a pan and fry the spice mix. when the spices are mildly fried, add the boiled egg halves. Fry/simmer for about 5 minutes. Add a bit of salt to taste.

Take a bowl/plate of hot boiled rice and mix in the fried pepper/geera mixture. Eat the egg with the rice mixture.

What was solid, now will become fluid (hence the handkerchief).
