Roots of rasagulla !

Rasagulla is a sweet dish . It is round in shape . It is soaked in sugary syrup . 



Roots of rasagulla sounds weird as rasagulla is not a fruit . But Tenali Rama managed to get the roots of it !



Once an Iranian traveller visited the court of King Sri Krishna Devaraya . King ordered for staying arrangement of traveller. 



Next day morning King sent some rasagullas to traveller as a token of hospitality . Traveller ate those . Was truly pleased with sweetness of the dish . As it is round in shape , he had mistaken it for a fruit . 



He thought if King gives the roots of fruit , he can return to his country with that and even there they can grow the fruit . His country men would relish the sweetness of fruit as he did !



Likewise , he requested the King for roots of rasagulla . Now King is in a fix . How can he get the roots of a sweet dish like rasagulla ?!



But he did not want to disappoint the tourist . King asked the help of Tenali Rama on this matter . Tenali Rama said by evening he will be present in the court with roots of rasagulla ! 



Everyone was waiting eagerly for evening . Tenali Rama returned to the court carrying a tray which was covered with a shawl . He greeted the King and said root of rasagulla is in the tray and he will show it only to the traveller .



Likewise , traveller came to court . He was given the tray having roots of rasagulla . He was happy by receiving that . He showed the root to everyone and thanked all of them .



But what was in the tray ?
