In India, eating is all about maximizing the flavour and texture of the food.
At meal times, a variety of dishes are served with each item eaten a little at a time in different combinations.
The use of fingers, as opposed to cutlery,
helps with blending the food together so that its taste is enhanced.
When you first try eating with your fingers, you’re sure to find that it feels very unnatural.
However, let go of your inhibitions and persist because it really does add to the whole eating experience.
What an Indian Meal Consists Of

Indian bread (chappathi, roti, or naan)
Side dishes (salad, papad, and pickles)
Main dishes of vegetables and/or meat
Dal (a waterly lentil dish)
