Tarikh-i Daʾudi 7.2

7.2

One day, whilst the Khan was hunting, a person brought curdled milk to him, prepared after the fashion of the villagers. Asad Khan ordered the dish in which he had brought it to be filled with gold pieces. One day a woman, a dweller of Chanderi, brought some nim leaves on a plate to Asad Khan, who saw that they were very green and fresh, and said to the woman, "What is the good of bringing nim leaves?" She replied, "I have cooked them as vegetables in such a manner that while they have not changed their appearance, they have all the flavour the best garden products can boast of." Asad Khan directed one of his companions to taste a small quantity, who perceived it was so tasty and well-cooked that it no longer retained the least flavour of nim leaves. Her plate was likewise filled with gold pieces, and returned to her.
