Vegetable Carving-Monkey

Friends it has been a long time since I posted on this blog. I have lots and lots to share but no time at all. And witting out recipes I find is not easy.  Well here I am with vegetable carving again.
This time its a monkey.


As you can see, the body is made of Pine apple with top cut off and used as a cap. Its hands are brinjals of long variety. The face has been made out of round and yellow cucumber. Its eyes are black grapes secured with tooth picks. Its mouth and ears have been made out of Sweet Lime or Mausambi in Hindi and Battayee in Telugu. All are secured using tooth picks. It has wilted a bit. I could not photograph immediately.

These can be arranged on dining tables or side tables with flowers, foliage or fruit bowls to add beauty.
