A few weeks ago, a friend of ours planned a traditional Keralite dinner. Kerala is one of the southern states of India, and a lot of my friends are from there. In this traditional dinner, all the guests sit on mats on the floor, and the food is served on banana leaves. Each person gets a leaf for a plate. Then all the food is eaten with your hands. I must say, there were quite a few excited Indians to see the white girl eat with her hands! With the help of my coach, Dipti, I got the hang of it pretty quickly. :)
