    No. Rice is a type of grain, potatoes are vegetables. They are both carbohydrates, though.

  • Question
    Should I eat rice with a spoon since my hands get messy with my hands?

    Community Answer
    The main point of eating Indian food is eating with your hands, as it shows connection with the food and it is respectful. But if you prefer eating with a spoon, then that is okay too.

    If I eat Indian food with rice using hands, and want a second helping of the main when my right hand is already covered with sauce, which hand shall I use the spoon to serve myself from the pot?
    Shreeya Srivastava
    Community Answer
    You can use your left hand to serve yourself or if someone is there then you can also ask for second servings that is not deemed disrespectful.
