I am a small and skinny chap

Sometimes I am brown and

sometime black,

Added to hot oil and ghee

I spread my fragrance all around me,

When I am roasted.

Curd and jaljeera are favorite to me.

Think and tell me who am I?

Small and round like a pearl,

I am black when I am whole.

I can be powdered coarse or fine

A sharp and spicy taste is mine,

Whether it is salty or sweet

I am added as a special treat,

Think and tell me who am I?

Tell me quickly, who am I?- pepper-kalimirchi

pepper-kali mirch:

Black pepper comes from the pepper plant, a smooth woody vine that can grow up to 33 feet in hot and humid tropical climates. They begin to bear small white clustered flowers after 3 to 4 years and develop into berries known as peppercorns. Ground peppercorns produce the spice we call pepper. 

Uses:

Black pepper stimulates the taste buds in such a way that an alert is sent to the stomach to increase hydrochloric acid secretion, thereby improving digestion. Hence, adding a sprinkling of freshly ground pepper to your foods not only adds to the flavour but improves digestion as well. 

It is also an excellent source of manganese, a very good source of iron and vitamin K, and a good source of dietary fibre.
