Half rotten tomatoes boxes,
Father coaxed,
Throw them in trash,
Ideas come in a flash,
Let's make sauces,
To cover the losses.
Cut away the rotten part,
For a start,
Boil, skin and grind the rest,
Add vinegar,paprika, food colouring, sugar and salt to give taste.
Mum came to hint,
From the garden get fresh mint,
And we came up with fresh Tomato Mint Chutney
A dip for samosas, bhajias,
mishkaki and salads.
