I enjoy eating with my fingers and enjoy it the most. However, I would like to learn if someone trains using spoons and knives in Bangalore. there are specific food items in India which ought to be eaten with spoons and I make a mess whenever I try them. the food items like paani-puri Dahi puri and masalapuri etc. please let me know if there are any trainers in Bangalore.
