Garam masala: "Masala" simply means a spice blend, or the sauce built on one.

Every region and household has its own proportions. On this menu as: Bhuna Gobi Masala Roll · Masala Fries · Masala Pappadum (2).
Paneer: Fresh, unaged cheese made by curdling hot milk with lemon or vinegar and pressing the curds into a firm block.
