Black pepper – I have used freshly crushed black pepper. It will give a spiciness and mild heat to your dish. Freshly crushed black pepper taste best. But you can also use black pepper powder if you want.

Lemon juice – Lemon juice used for flavour and slight tanginess. Freshly squeezed lemon juice will give a refreshing flavour and taste.
