Eating with your hands

Eating with your hand is something that is common in Asia especially in India. The right hand is used and all meals are eaten with it. Today for lunch as part of our culinary journey we visited Sri Krishna Sweets, a restaurant in Pondicherry that is famous for its sweets on the ground floor of the building and serves lovely thali meals on the floor above.

So, we taught the group today how to eat with their hand and much to their surprise they found it very easy once you know what to do. The thali lunch was delicious!
