7. Wonderful Waste!
•The story is set in the Kingdom of Travancore in
India. The king of the place is organizing a feast in
his palace. Thus, the cook is busy in the kitchen
with the preparations for it. In order to make sure
everything is being prepared in full swing, the king
decides to go in for inspection. When he pays a
visit to the kitchen, there is something odd that
catches his attention
8. Wonderful Waste!
•He finds a lot of vegetable scraps in a basket
which was of no use and treated as waste.
Upon seeing this, the king orders the cook to
not waste those scraps. Instead, he commands
him to make use of them in a wise manner.
Thus, it leaves the cook confused and baffled.
9. Wonderful Waste!
•However, upon thinking hard, he does not reach a
conclusion easily. All of a sudden, a rather
interesting idea comes to his mind. He takes up all
the vegetable scraps and washes them and cleans
them properly. Then, he starts cutting them into
long strips. After all this, the cook tosses them all
in a pot and lights to fire to cook it
10. Wonderful Waste!
•To these scraps, he goes on to add grounded
coconut, green chilies, and garlic plus salt.
This enhances the flavor of the dish and he
cooks it well. After that, the cook whips some
curd and adds it to the boiling curry.
Moreover, he also pours a few spoonfuls of
coconut oil. These entire flavors combine to
give the dish a nice aroma and look.
11. Wonderful Waste!
•Finally, he garnishes the dish with curry leaves.
And it is ready at last and everyone ends up liking
the dish a lot. Thus, the cook names this dish Avial
which goes on to become popular all over Kerala.
And now, it is a part of a traditional Kerala feast
which was once waste. (an excerpt from the story
