Always wash your hands before and after a meal

You are supposed to wash your hands before and after every meal, whether you use cutlery or not. Food safety and your general health are the two main benefits of this.

It's a prevalent myth that both Indian cuisine and street food are the result of unhygienic cooking practices and give people Delhi Belly. However, in truth, a lot of stomachaches are brought on by the bacteria on our own hands, which may be avoided by washing them properly.

Indian dining etiquette places a premium on hand hygiene, however wiping your right hand with a cloth or napkin is regarded as unclean. However, utilizing napkins is becoming more and more common in India's eating scene, much like using cutlery. The ideal practice for manners is still to wash your hands with soap and water both before and after each meal.
