those vegetable scraps ?” he
asked the cook, pointing to the
basket of scraps near the cook.

14. The cook replied, “They are waste.
We will throw them away.”

15. “You cannot waste all these bits
and pieces of vegetables. Find a
way to use them,” the Maharaja
commanded sternly and walked
away.

staring at the vegetable scraps for
some time.

across his mind.

them and cleaned them well.

placed it on the fire to cook.

fresh coconut,
green chillies
and garlic together.
He added this paste
and some salt to
the cooking
vegetables.

22. A tempting smell started coming
from the pot.

23. Now he whipped some curd and added
it to the curry. He also poured a few
spoonfuls of coconut oil and decorated
the dish with curry leaves.

24. Lo and behold !
The new dish was ready. The
cook served this new dish to the
guests that evening.

25. Everyone was eager to know the
name of the new dish. The cook
thought and thought. Then a
name came to his mind.
