Today was my first experience of a rural Indian packed lunch. When it was time to eat, my colleagues all had identical meals and presented me with one of my very own: three small plastic bags and a ball of leaves the size of a child’s head.Unwrapping the bundle revealed, inevitably, a block of sticky rice. The leaves handily double up as a plate. Today’s accompaniments were:• One bag yellow daal. To be poured over the rice.• One bag curried eggs. In curry sauce.• One bag chillies. I’m pretty sure this was a practical joke.There’s no cutlery, so just dig in with your right hand and start shovelling. Who needs sandwiches?
