A monkey knows not the taste of ginger (i.e. ignorant people do not know how to appreciate something).
Chicken at home is equivalent to pulses (i.e. the true worth of what one takes for granted is never appreciated)
Cumin in a camel's mouth (very little assistance for a large need)
If you've placed your head inside the mortar, it's no use fearing the pestle.
