Indian lingual delights

As my wife and I worked in the kitchen one day, I happened to mention that a couple of necessary chores had been accomplished. She likened the context to a local idiom in her tongue "hitting two mangoes with one stone (oru kal, rendu manga)". I immediately gave her the equivalent saying in my language, which reads, "killing two birds with one bullet (oru gundu, rendu pakshi)"; at which she nonchalantly remarked: "Oh but we are vegetarians, you know".
