Indian food customs: why eat with your right hand? (group)

Because in India, people think that the right hand is clean and the left hand is dirty. This is related to another habit of Indians. Indians don't use toilet paper to wipe after going to the toilet, but flush with water. When flushing, they use their left hand instead of their right hand.

When eating in a restaurant or an Indian home, when the meal is almost finished, the host often brings you a small bowl of warm water with a lemon floating on it. This water must not be drunk. It is used to wash hands. After dinner, a plate of green wheat fragrance will be served for everyone to chew and eliminate oral odor.

Extended data:

The Indian way of eating still retains some traditional habits. Although people eat with forks and spoons on more formal occasions, at home, it is more enjoyable to grasp them with their hands: everyone puts a big plate in front of them, puts rice on it, then pours vegetables and soup, then stirs them with their hands, kneads them into a ball, grabs them and puts them into their mouths.

In street food stalls, snack bars and temples, people usually use plates made of dried leaves to hold food. Some restaurants will give everyone a fresh big leaf to hold food such as rice, which is very environmentally friendly.

People's Network-Indians don't eat with their left hands. There is no beef in the restaurant.
