There is an old tale about it's origin. It goes like this:
There were two friends. One of them was born-blind. The other one used to help him with his sight, like in telling him how a thing looks like and other.
They were best friends since childhood. Time passed and they became young. The person with eyesight invited his blind friend to a dinner in his house.
In the dinner there was the dish, 'Kheer'. His friend liked it very much.
He asked, "what is this dish?"
His friend said, "This is Kheer. It is made of milk, rice, sugar and other ingredients."
Blind friend," Ok, What does it look like?"
His friend," It is white in color. Like 'Bagula(Heron)'.
Blind friend," 'Bagula'?, What is Bagula?"
His Friend," Bagula is a Bird."

His Friend," Bagula is a Bird."
And then He tried to tell him how a Bagula looks like by Hand gestures. Then he told his blind friend to touch his hands to give him an idea how a Bagula looks like. He touched his hands which were in shape of Bagula's neck.
He coundn't understand what he was trying to tell him and said," Are BABA, Ye Kheer to badi Tedi cheez hai." (Oh God, This Kheer is so curved thing.)
After then This phrase was invented, Tedi Kheer. For the things which are pretty difficult to understand or difficult thing to do.
The origin of the Hindi idiom 'nau do gyarah' (नौ दो ग्यारह)?
Before advent of announcement system in Indian
Railways ringing of bell was used to alert passenger about arrival of
train on platform. It is still used in small stations in India.
The bell was struck 5 times when train used to
reach 2 station before destination, 4 times when it reached one station
before destination, thus bell struck 5+4 = 9 before coming to station
and bell would struck 2 times before leaving
platform.
Hence the phrase Nau Do Gyarah (9+2 = 11) meaning to ‘run away’. Number (11) looks like a pair of legs; and running has to do with
legs.
