The main reason is that roadside stalls in India are really dirty. You can clearly see the flies flying around the food, and the corpses of flies can also be found on the food-making utensils. However, Indians are used to it. Foreign tourists will feel extremely disgusted when they see such hygienic conditions. Although they themselves are accustomed to it, foreign tourists' impression of India is that it is dirty and messy.

I once watched a food program about tasting food in India. The hosts showed great courage and tasted the food from the roadside stalls, but they were shot one after another and suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. It can be seen that you really need to stay away from the food served at roadside stalls in India. In addition to the unspeakable food safety, there is also the presentation of Indian food, which is really not flattering. They seem to have an unknown magical power. No matter what kind of food it is, Indians can always make the food look like shit.

Southeast Asian cuisine likes to use curry, but like India, the food is made to look like shit, which makes people not want to eat it.

We think Indian food is very dirty psychologically, but there is actually another factor. When Indians go to the toilet, they don't use toilet paper, they use their hands. Imagine using these hands to cook or something, and some foods also need to be directly used during the preparation process. As far as Indians’ living habits are concerned, as well as their food, they don’t feel very hygienic.

Making food is naturally inseparable from water, and the Ganges, known as the mother river of India, has lost its former clarity, and the water used by Indians depends to a large extent on this, and its pollution getting more serious. The water quality cannot guarantee hygiene, and the food produced cannot guarantee food safety.
