Pickles have been available to the consumers publicly since many centuries. Lunch in
India usually consists of a main dish of rice in the south and east, or whole wheat rotis in the
north and west. It typically includes two or three kinds of vegetables. Along with dessert,
paan (betel leaves), which aid digestion, are often eaten after lunch in parts of India. Indian
families often gather for “evening breakfast,” similar to tea time to talk. Dinner is considered
as the main meal of the day.

Traditionally, meals in India were eaten while seated either on the floor or on very low
stools or cushions. Food is most often eaten with the right hand rather than cutlery. The left
hand is used to serve oneself when the courses are not served by the host. Often roti is used to
scoop curry without allowing it to touch the hand. In the wheat-producing north, a piece of
roti is gripped with the thumb and middle finger and ripped off while holding the roti down
with the index finger. A somewhat different method is used in the south where the middle
finger is pressed down to hold the crepe down and the forefinger and thumb used to grip and
separate a small part. Traditional serving styles vary regionally throughout India.
