It enhances the taste of vegetables.Hi: पहले राजा-महाराजाओं के रसोई में इस्तेमाल होता था।" आरव ने बड़े गौर से सुना और उसे उपयुक्त उपहार का आभास हुआ।En: It used to be used in royal kitchens." Aarav listened intently and realized it was the perfect gift.Hi: तभी ईशा ने भागते हुए उसे ढूंढ निकाला।En: Just then, Isha found him, rushing over.Hi: "तुम्हें पता है, मैं कितनी परेशान हो गई थी? दादी सोचेंगी कि हम कहाँ रह गए!"En: "Do you know how worried I was? Grandmother will wonder where we've been!"Hi: आरव ने ईशा को सब समझाया और उसे भी दूकानदार से मिलवाया।En: Aarav explained everything to Isha and introduced her to the shopkeeper.Hi: दोनों ने मिलकर वह प्राचीन मसाला खरीदा।En: Together, they bought the ancient spice.Hi: अब उन्हें पता था कि यह दादी के लिए अद्वितीय उपहार होगा।En: Now they knew it would be a unique gift for their grandmother.Hi: वापस दुकान पर लौटते हुए, आरव ने अपनी जड़ों को और भी गहराई से महसूस किया और ईशा ने आरव में नया साहस और समर्पण पाया।En: Returning to the shop, Aarav felt a deeper connection to his roots, and Isha discovered new courage and dedication in Aarav.Hi: दादी ने मुस्कुराकर उनका उपहार लिया और कहा, "तुम दोनों ने मेरा दिन बना दिया।"En: Grandmother smiled, accepting their gift, and said, "You both have made my day."Hi: वह स्मृति उनकी यादों में बस गई, जैसे चांदनी चौक का वह खुशनुमा दिन।En: That memory was etched in their minds, like that delightful day in Chandni Chowk.
