During the colonial period, British spice traders "Anglicized" the original name. Since then, it has been called "Tellicherry" all over the world.

You can finely crush the pepper in a mortar just before use or put it in a good pepper mill and sprinkle it over dishes, or in soups or stews, you can also put the whole peppercorns with other spices and herbs in a tea bag and remove them whole at the end of the cooking time.
