ఆకు వేసి అన్నం పెడితే , ఆ ఆకుని తీసేసి భోజనం చేస్తాం — ఏంటది — ?

వివరణ

The riddle plays on the dual meaning of 'aku' (leaf) in Telugu—curry leaves are used to flavor rice/food, but are removed before eating. The answer is 'curry leaves' (karivepaaku), whose characteristic use is being added for taste then discarded, making them the perfect answer to this riddle about something placed but then taken away.
