Dishes to know on this menu

Idli, vada & upma: South Indian breakfast. Idli are soft steamed cakes of the same fermented batter as dosa; medu vada are savory lentil doughnuts, crisp outside and fluffy within (dahi vada are soaked in spiced yogurt); upma is a savory semolina porridge; pongal is rice and lentils cooked soft with pepper, cumin and ghee. All are eaten with sambar and chutney. On this menu as: Masala Vada · Aappam with Vada Curry · Idli Platter.
Madras & Chettinad: Two southern styles. "Madras" is a British-restaurant label for a hot, tomato-and-chili curry in the Tamil manner. Chettinad, from the Chettiar merchant community of Tamil Nadu, is the real thing: black pepper, star anise, stone flower, curry leaves and dried chili ground fresh, all dark, aromatic and fierce. Kolhapuri is Maharashtra's equally fiery red-chili style. On this menu as: Chettinad Koli Pepper Varuval · Chettinad Koli Soup · Chettinad Biryani.
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: Tandoor From Clay Pot Oven · Tandoori Chicken · Tandoori Pomfret.
Thali: A complete meal on one round platter: small bowls (katoris) of dal, two or three vegetable curries, raita, pickle, papad, rice and bread, often with a sweet. Gujarati and Rajasthani thalis are lavish and unlimited; a South Indian "meals" is the banana-leaf equivalent. The easiest way to try a kitchen's range at lunch. On this menu as: 10 Item Thali (Lunch Special) · Vegetarian Thali · Egg Thali.
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: Paneer Tikka · Chicken Tikka Kebab · Hariyali Chicken Kebab.
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: Chettinad Biryani · Vegetarian Biryani · Chicken Biryani.
