Ekpani (ek paan)means one leaf. It is known as Brahmi in Ayurveda and its scientific name is Centella Asiatica. It is considered to be a memory booster according to Ayurveda. Read more about Brahmi on Wiki.
I brought a Brahmi plant while coming back from our vacation but it did not survive. Then after reading Shilpa's post i adopted her idea of using Watercress in place of Ekpani.
Ingredients
Ekpaani/ Watercress - 1 cup
Dessicated Coconut - 1/2 cup
Green Chilli - 1
Dry Red Chilli - 1
Ginger - 1 inch
Tamarind - 1 inch
Salt
Sugar or Jaggery
Grind all the ingredients in a blender with little water. adjust salt and sugar as per liking. Serve with hot rice and curry.
