So I am being taught the fine art of eating with one hand and no utensils. It is a skill and I am stil trying to figure out how to eat with out getting a cramp in my hand. The trick to eating: wash your hands before every meal (especailly your left hand) you remoe the liquid portions from your plate and a man comes around and puts ALOT of rice from a
pot on your plate. you pour some samba or curry on it, knead it and mix it, form it into a ball scoop and use your thumb to lever it into your mouth... with one hand... I will stress again..one hand. I did not realize how much I used both hands to eat until I ate in India. If this sounds at all easy..it is not and it is very interesting to watch experts zoom through a meal while I am still trying to figure out how to make little tasty rice balls with my hand.
At the end of the meal you are given a little green leaf that has a paste inside and a rose petal for looks on top. You pop the whole thing in your mouth and chew..I hated it in my mout but it did really help with digestion..it was very soothing.
