The Hilarious Tale of Mr. Plum: From Aloo to Aloo-Bukhara
Once upon a thyme — I mean, time — in a far-off fruit basket, there lived a poor little fruit called Aloo. Yes, you read that right. Not potato-Aloo… just Aloo. Our Aloo wasn’t a vegetable, though — he had juicy dreams of becoming a celebrity fruit one day.
But alas, there was one teeny tiny problem.
Aloo was always sick.
Like, really — the guy caught a fever almost every day! Sunny day? Fever. Rainy day? Fever. Cloudy with a chance of meatballs? Yup, fever again. His friends started calling him “The Fever King” — and not in a cool, Game of Thrones way.
One day, a wise old banana (probably overripe) gave him a new name:
“From now on, you shall be known as... Aloo-Bukhara!”
(Translation: Potato with Fever — but make it fancy.)
And boom — the name stuck.
No one remembers when he actually became a plum. Maybe it was the fever. Maybe it was evolution. But what matters is that today, Aloo-Bukhara is no ordinary fruit. He’s sweet, tangy, mysterious — and still a little dramatic (he sneezes in winters).
So next time you see a dried plum, don’t just eat it. Salute it. That’s not just a snack — that’s a legend who fought the great war against fevers... and came out delicious.
Moral of the story:
Even if life gives you fevers, you can still become someone’s favorite chutney
