Watch: How To Eat Sushi The Indian Way; Funny Video Makes Foodies Relate

The culinary landscape of our country is an ever expanding one; we are welcoming new international cuisines onto our lives every day. One of the most famous cuisines that has been enjoying a raging fan base in the country is the East-Asian cuisines like Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese dishes. While the love for K-dramas and Korean boy bands have made tons of teenagers go gaga over ramen and Kimchi over the years, the other half is in awe of the flavour profile a well curated sushi platter holds. However, if you are a fan of these dishes, you must know these require a certain skillset to be devoured. A skill, we Indians are not very comfortable with – that is holding chopsticks. It is quite difficult for a beginner to learn the ropes of using chopsticks, let alone enjoy a full sushi platter with the help of the same.
