How to eat on a banana leaf?
- As soon as you have the leaf on your table. Clean it by sprinkling some water on it.
- Salt pickle side dishes and sweet are put on the top of the leaf. All the items are arranged in a manner so that they are easily reachable.
- You don't require a fork or a spoon to eat when you have hands.The real taste of the food is taken by our hands.
- The main item of our south Indian meal is rice. The rice is given in the bottom center of the leaf.
- We then divide the heap of rice properly in two ratios. One for sambhar and the other for rasam.
- Make a hole in the heap of your divided rice and pour some rasam or sambhar in it.
- Due to the fluidity of rasam it makes it difficult to eat. You should eat the rasam chawal in one swift motion of your hand.
- Don't forget the side dishes.
- Then you get to eat dhai chawal. It aids your digestive system giving you peace.
- In the end you have kheer which you eat by breaking the papad on it. To control its fluidity.
- If you are finished then put water on the salt at the left side of the leaf.Fold it towards you and you are done.
The design and methodology behind eating in a leaf is special. Don't ruin it by your comments as how it is unhygienic and cheap. Embrace the beautiful culture you are born in.
