Sizzling tandoori mixed grill of chicken tikka and kebabs topped with a grilled onion ring, with chutneys and spices alongside, at Maharaja Indian Cuisine in Omaha

Dosa: A thin, crisp South Indian crepe of fermented rice-and-lentil batter, served with sambar and coconut chutney. Masala dosa is folded around spiced potato; Mysore masala adds a red chili-garlic smear; rava dosa is a lacy semolina version; paper dosa is the extra-large, extra-crisp one. Uttapam is the same batter cooked thick like a pancake with onion, tomato and chili on top. On this menu as: South Indian Dosa · Masala Dosa · Mysore Masala Dosa.
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 & Kebabs · Tandoori Shrimp.
Kebabs: seekh, boti, shami: Seekh kebab is spiced minced lamb or chicken pressed around a skewer and grilled; boti is marinated cubed meat; reshmi ("silky") is chicken mince or breast in a cream marinade; shami is a pan-fried patty of minced meat and chana dal; galouti is Lucknow's melt-in-the-mouth version; chapli is the flat, coriander-seed-studded patty of Peshawar; bihari kebab is thin strips of marinated beef. On this menu as: Tandoori & Kebabs · Seekh Kebab.
Garam masala: "Masala" simply means a spice blend, or the sauce built on one. Garam masala ("warm blend") is the finishing mix of cardamom, cinnamon, clove, cumin, black pepper and other whole spices toasted and ground, added at the end of cooking for aroma rather than heat. Every region and household has its own proportions. On this menu as: Chicken Tikka Masala · Masala Dosa · Mysore Masala Dosa.
Tikka masala: Chunks of tandoor-grilled marinated chicken (tikka) simmered in a creamy, mildly spiced tomato gravy. Almost certainly invented in Britain's Punjabi restaurants rather than in India, and now the most-ordered dish on Indian menus in the English-speaking world. On this menu as: Chicken Tikka Masala.
Korma: A Mughal court braise: meat or vegetables cooked slowly in a pale, rich sauce of yogurt, cream and ground nuts (cashew or almond), scented with cardamom and saffron. Mild on most restaurant menus; navratan ("nine jewels") korma is the vegetable-and-fruit version. On this menu as: Lamb Korma.
