Tandoori octopus plated with slaw on a gold thali, with scallops and sangria, at Moksha Indian Brasserie in Fort Lauderdale

Tandoori: Cooked in a tandoor, a deep, charcoal- or gas-fired clay oven that reaches very high heat. Tandoori chicken is bone-in pieces marinated in yogurt, lemon, ginger-garlic and spices (the red color is mostly Kashmiri chili or food coloring), skewered and roasted until charred. Naan is slapped onto the same oven's walls. On this menu as: Tandoori Octopus · Tandoor · Tandoori Chicken Tikka.
Biryani: Long-grain basmati layered with marinated meat, fried onions, saffron and whole spices and cooked "dum", sealed under a lid so the rice steams in the meat's juices. Hyderabad, Lucknow, Kolkata (with a potato and egg), Malabar and Sindh each have their own. Served with raita and often a thin gravy (salan). Pulao is the simpler, single-pot cousin. On this menu as: Rice & Biryani · Chicken Biryani · Lamb/Goat Biryani.
Naan: A leavened, teardrop-shaped bread slapped onto the wall of the tandoor, blistered and brushed with butter or ghee. Garlic, butter and cheese naan are standard; keema naan is stuffed with spiced mince, peshwari with coconut and dried fruit. Kulcha is the flakier, often stuffed (potato, onion, paneer) Punjabi relative. On this menu as: Naan · Garlic Naan · Olive Cheese Naan.
Butter chicken (murgh makhani): Tandoori chicken finished in a silky sauce of puréed tomato, butter, cream and a little fenugreek, sweeter and gentler than tikka masala. Invented at Moti Mahal in Delhi in the 1950s as a way to use leftover tandoori chicken. "Makhani" (buttery) on any dish, including dal makhani, promises the same rich treatment. On this menu as: Butter Chicken · Salmon Makhani · Daal Makhani.
Tikka: Boneless cubes marinated and grilled on skewers in the tandoor. Chicken tikka is the yogurt-and-spice version; malai tikka is marinated in cream and cheese for a mild, silky result; hariyali is a green marinade of mint, cilantro and spinach; paneer tikka is the vegetarian standard, often with peppers and onion on the skewer. On this menu as: Tandoori Chicken Tikka · Chicken Tikka Masala.
Paneer: Fresh, unaged cheese made by curdling hot milk with lemon or vinegar and pressing the curds into a firm block. It does not melt, so it can be grilled (tikka), fried, or simmered in gravies, and it is the standard vegetarian protein on North Indian menus. On this menu as: Angarey Paneer · Saag Paneer.
