Indian restaurant etiquette

When eating the starters of poppadoms and chutneys/dips do you spoon the chutneys and dips onto a plate first or dip the poppadoms directly into the pots?

Not sure if my friend was winding me up when he said that the chutneys and dips are topped up and passed around to other customers or not! I’m hoping not! I had been dipping into the pots with the poppadoms, as I usually do, but now I’m not so sure I should be.

What is the correct thing to do?

You are rather nosey for a girl
Spoon them on to my side plate of course.
I also think you were being teased my lovely.

I always spoon them onto the plate first, although they do tend to run which means they are difficult to pick up with a poppodom.

You are making me hungry now CC.

Me too Longdogs. . Yes, they are difficult to pick up so that’s my excuse for dipping in!
