    Thank you so much for those lovely comments, joyce. This gravy is not only eaten with rice, this can be had with Indian pancakes too. We usually use our finger tips of the right hand, as you said.
    Well, the custom you said was followed here too, but long back. Now it is not compulsory.

    Another very splended sounding recipe...very different.

    I would like to understand the etiquette of Indian cuisine.

    Would this be eaten with rice,and only with the finger tips of the right hand?

    When I grew up,in Oklahoma,the custom was that Dad was the head of the house,he sat at the dinner table first,he was offered the food first,and as kids we were to eat everything on our plates,before asking to be excused from the dinner table.

    As I understand..thou,I may be mistaken...is that your custom as well?

    Thank-you again.

    Kindest of Regards
