Attach the carrot slice to the big brinjal ( on the side facing downwards) with the help of a pin. Keep aside. This becomes the body of the vegetable seller. Keep aside.
Take another carrot slice and trim it a little from both the sides using a knife. This becomes the feet of the man.
Attach both the carrot pieces (feet) to both the small brinjals ( legs) using pins.
Place one brinjal (leg) on a chopping board and trim a little along the side using a knife. Repeat the same with the other small brinjal (leg).
Join both the small brinjals (legs) using 2 pins.
This is how the legs will stand on a flat surface fater joining pins.
Attach the big brinjal (body) with the help of 2 pins.
Take a lemon and make eyes and mouth using a black marker pen.
Using a yhin slice of white radish and carving knife, carve out a thin beard. Attach it under the nose, using pins. Attach the lemon (face) to the big brinjal (body) using a pin.
Attach the 2 green chillies (as hands) on the upper side of the big brinjal (body) using pins. Keep aside.
Place another lemon on a chopping board and cut it into a little more than half. Use the biggerpart to make the basket and discard the smaller part.
Make small v-shaped cuts along the sides of the lemon using a knife.
Squeeze out the juice from the lemon.
Immerse the lemon in the water and squeeze with your hands gently till the inner fibres are removed.
You should get a clean hollow in the lemon like this.

Slide the basket onto the green chillies (hands) of the vegetable seller. Keep aside.
Place a beetroot on a chopping board and cut around 2 cm. From the tip.
