Pepperomia Pellucida also known as Vietnams Crab claw herb. which is known as Neer kaddi/ Neer panthi in our coastal line. Even though it is known for it's medicinal as well as culinary use, we never use this in cooking.
Whenever I see a Peperomia herb in my small kitchen garden, feel nostalgic by thinking about my childhood activity. During that time, we used to play with it's watery stem and used to wipe our writing slate with it :The It is a common weed, which is shallow rooted, water filled stem and light green transparent leaves with a tiny granule kind of flowers.
Which has a peppery taste with a pleasant aroma. Entire plant is an edible and known for it's medicinal properties such as anti-arthritic, diuretic as well as analgesic . It is very popular as a salad herb and here I have used it in a curd-based dish.
