BANANA LEAF RICE
BANANA LEAF RICE
Banana leaf rice is a traditional method of
serving rice dishes in South Indian cuisine. Due
to the migration of South Indians, banana leaf rice can also be found in areas
with significant ethnic South Indian diaspora like Malaysia and Singapore. In banana leaf meals, white rice (or parboiled rice in authentic
South Indian restaurants) is served on a banana leaf with an assortment of vegetables,pickles, papadum and other regional condiments (usually
sour, salty and/or spicy). The banana leaf acts as a disposable plate and it in
itself is not consumed. The choice of banana leaves is mainly due to the broad
leaves as well as to the ubiquity of the plant in South India. Typically, only
vegetarian gravy (e.g. sambar) will be
served on the rice as it is meant to be a traditional vegetarian dish. However,
sometimes boiled eggs, curriedand/or
fried meat or seafood are served as well. Traditionally there will be two
servings of rice, with the first being served with gravy, side dishes and
condiments whilst the second serving will be just rice with curd as a palate cleanser. Banana leaf meals are eaten with hand. Banana leaf meal etiquette also
dictates that, after the meal, the guest must always fold the banana leaf
inwards as a sign of gratitude to the host, even when the host is the
proprietor of an eatery. However, when meals are served at funeral wakes, the
leaf is folded outwards as a sign of condolence to the family of the deceased.
Due to this, folding the leaf outwards is considered rude in any other
circumstance. In Malaysia, some Malaysians of non-Indian origin sometimes fold
their banana leaf outward as a sign of dissatisfaction with an eatery's banana
leaf meal. This is due to the erroneous belief that folding the leaf inwards or
outwards is a way of rating the meal.
