It is not difficult to eat with your fingers, but there are a few rules of Indian etiquette that have to be observed:
1. The left hand is not used for eating, (even if you are left-handed,) this is considered offensive and unclean.
2. Wait to be served. Remember you are eating with your hands and your right hand will be messy, therefore you will leave the serving spoon all sticky and messy too. Don’t be tempted to use your left hand as it is bad Indian etiquette and considered offensive.
3. The hygiene of jootha:
While sharing is good Indian etiquette and manners, sharing a glass, spoon, drinking bottle etc., coming into contact with another’s spit is called jootha and is considered offensive in many parts of India.
4. In Indian etiquette never offer anyone food from your thali, even if it is in one of the little bowls and you haven't touched it. All the food that is placed on your thali becomes jootha:. There is no precise English equivalent of jootha. I suppose 'contaminated' comes closest in meaning.
