Indians prefer to eat
with their fingers hence they always wash their hands immediately
before and after eating. Eating with a fork and a knife is unsuited
to Indian food - rotis or fried versions (Puris).
Most of India is a rice
eating country though in the north fresh made Indian bread (roti)
dominates the meal. Rice is eaten on special occasions in the north.
No normal meals are complete without fancy preparations of rice.
There are various forms of roti available from dried roasted ones to
ones made in the clay ovens stuffed and fried ones to festive sweet
ones. Each region has favourites and its better to sample the local
flavour.
