In fact each bite is supposed to be different, so make whatever combos you want while you eat. Indians believe in eating five flavours at each meal. (bitter, sweet, spicy, sour and citrus) so everything is served to gather in a big plate. You may eat one bite of flat bread with chicken followed by another with vegetables. You may eat fritters or sweets between the morsels and drink butter milk during the meal. Rice may be eaten in the begining as a starter with plain dal or between the meal as a main course with vegetables/non-veg curry or at the end to round off the meal with curd or buttermilk.<br><b>References : </b><br> No hard and fast rules.

All/any food (meat/veg) should be eaten together with boiled white rice (never a side dish in Asia); or sometimes with flattened bread (nan). While in Indian cuisine there is a dish called "briyani rice" (brasmati rice flavored with ghee and flavored with saffron) - this too is accompanied bby either a chicken, or lamb curry and side dishes.<br><b>References : </b><br> There are no main course in Asian cuisines Indian included.
