    Our first child’s pediatrician was from India. Our child got sick one night. Dr. told us to come over to her house. It was about midnight. She was cooking supper. After examining and making sure our child was OK she invited us to stay for midnight supper. We did. I learned to eat with my right hand that night. She offered me a fork, but hey....when in Rome.

    Im a 15 yr old Indian boy, living in India. As I grew up in the UK, I was taught that eating with my hands is bad manners, and so I always ate with cutlery. Recently I have been getting a lot of comments from my relatives about the fact that I dont really look nice when I eat with my hands. So, I decided to look up how to eat nicely with hands, and this video really helped me. Thank you !!!! 😊😊😊

Karagdagan pa rito, dahil nasa "tropical" na klima ang Pillipinas, ang mga pagkain ay makukuha sa tuyo at luntian na kalikasan, na angkop naman sa ating paggamit ng natural na lakas at pisikal na pangagatawan para ihain ito sa mismong panahon at oras upang kainin, at muling pagtatanim.

    You make me so happy with this video. I've been shown how to eat Indian food before, actually it was one dish - seasoned okra rolled in a 4" circular bread so it could have been naan, roti or chipati. My friend didn't explain she just said this is how you eat it. We were sharing an Indian food moment as I picked up my all Asian Cookbook by Jacki Passmore ($10.00). It was 1978 and I had lent her my book. We were in a ceramic class together and while chatting, as we worked, we came upon the topic of cookbooks that contain Indian food. She had never seen one with any REAL Indian recipes in it. I wanted to know how bad the recipes in my book were since I had cooked some of them and thought they were authentic so I brought the book to class for her to have a look. After she browsed through it for me she said many of them were exactly the same as her mother's recipes, recipes that she had never seen written down. She asked if she could borrow it for awhile to copy recipes. I was happy to oblige; a gift to both of us. Onevery precious moment for me and now your video adds even more to it. Thank you.

    I am reminded of when my family had gone to a Chinese restaurant and were eating our food with chopsticks. After a while some of us complained we were getting hand cramps because our muscles were not accustomed to holding chopsticks through and entire meal. But my son who was only about 8 and had very little practice immediately retorted he was getting a stomach cramp because he was not able to get any food into his mouth with those chopsticks! I was in the state of Gujarat for 6 months and the family I lived with mixed the rice and dal with their fingers and ate it just like Urvashi showed. I had also visited with a college student who happened to be from Rajasthan, if I remember correctly, who explained to me that food tastes differently when eaten with the fingers rather than utensils. He explained it as using all the senses to enjoy food, as well as touch and said it heightened the flavor. The family I lived with also tore the roti at the fold and just refolded the roti to move the fold when needed. It's an easy way to get a nice shaped piece of roti to pick up food with. I noticed how good Indians are at eating food with their hands, but that makes sense, right? They have always done it that way and have loads of practice. We just need to keep practicing also. It does get easier and you do get better at it. At first it feels completely unnatural and an ineffective way to eat, but after a while you get the hang of it. One thing I have noticed is posture. When we eat we are told to sit properly at the table. We bring the food to our mouths with our silverware. But Indians lean in to eat over their plate. They bring the food up and slightly inward but they meet the food there with their mouths. If you watch people eat with silverware you'll notice they may lean in, but not as much and often keep their backs straight. But oh how good it tastes! I don't know if it can be proven scientifically, but I do prefer to eat Indian food with my hands over with my silverware. For first timers I would recommend something like suki bhaji. It's a cubed potato mixture that varies by region, but since it's just boiled potato cut into cubes and then fried with seasonings it's not only super easy and tasty to make, it's also super easy to eat with roti to practice. Here is the recipe from the family I lived with. Do you also have a recipe for these potatoes? Though it might not be keto friendly....I myself don't eat them often just because Holy Carb! We used lemon juice as a substitute for mango powder I believe. *Suki bhaji* ▫ 4 medium potatoes boiled, peeled, and cubed in about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch cubes In a pan heat: ▫ oil 1 or 2 tablespoons When oil is hot enough splutter mustard seed and cumin seeds (do not burn the cumin seeds) ▫ mustard seeds 1/3 teaspoon -1/2 teaspoon ▫ cumin seeds 1/2 teaspoon When seeds have spluttered add: ▫ 4 green chillies chopped Stir and cook for a few seconds, then add the potatoes. To that add the rest of the spices, stir often. ▫ salt 1/2-1 teaspoon or as per taste. ▫ half teaspoon sugar ▫ chilli powder 1/2 teaspoon -1 teaspoon ▫ turmeric powder -1/4 teaspoon Turn the burner off and stir in the remaining ingredients: ▫ juice of one small lemon ▫ coriander leaves (1/4th cup) for garnishing Practice eating with roti. ☺ Thank you so much for this video Urvashi. I really enjoyed it.

    Mixing food with the hand, I mean squishing it, actually improves the flavours of food. I don't know how it is with you but I have noticed it that good squished by different people have different taste. When I was small, I could differentiate between good squished by my father and that squished by my mother. Same rice, same accompaniment but different taste. And food squished by either of my parents definitely tasted better than when I used to squish the food myself.

Turns out it was, lol. Time to work on that (and eat delicious food)!

    I recently started eatin food from a vegan Trinidadian restaurant. I was looking for tips on eating roti and some of the other breads they have when i found ur video. i didnt realize there was a skill to eating with my hands. Will try my skills the next time I try Indian food as well Side note: I grew up in the deep south in Georgia. As a child I remember my Grandmother teaching me to eat collards or turnin greens with my hands after mixing the greens with cornbread. Now everyone uses a fork. But I swear food tasted better with my hands!

    What happens when you run out of bread/ rice while eating your food? Do people prepare more rice/ bread in that case, or do they usually stop eating once all the carbohydrates have been consumed? Also, would it be acceptable to eat certain foods using your hands *without* the use of bread/rice, such as the cabbage and carrot dish in the video? I could imagine myself doing that if I ran out of bread/rice, in a restaurant for instance

    I am Indian and have been doing this all my life. Still I am watching this just to understand what a marvellous thing I've actually been doing all my life. Eating with the hands require minute and intricate muscle coordination of the fingers which we take for granted because we have learnt it naturally. For Westerners, they have to acquire this skill after much practise.

    Was over a friend's house, they are from Bangladesh. His wife cooked a really nice meal and served us. They forget to give me a fork and spoon. So I watched how they were doing it and started copying them. After a few minutes they apologized and brought me a fork and spoon. By then I had already seen and copied enough, I told them I didn't need it. Now a couple times/week I eat with my hands at home.

    Eating with your hands is primative. The reason why forks knifes spoons was invented so we dont have to use hands. Why would anyone think having all your food over your hands and fingers is a good thing . Babies eat with there hands then we teach them to use cutlery.

I figure you would end up washing your hands, but how do you get from your seat to the sink without touching anything? Napkins/towels first? Open sinks in the same room? Hands-free bathroom doors?

    All Indian restaurants have an open wash basin area, so first wipe your hands on paper napkins provided at the table to eliminate any drips, then go to the wash area where you can use your clean left hand to pump the liquid hand wash dispenser into your right and then wash thoroughly, turning on the faucet with your left hand... Pretty logical.
