Skewers of marigold-yellow tandoori chicken tikka cooking over glowing charcoal at Star of India in Salt Lake City

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: Biryani · Vegetable Biryani · Muglai 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: Tandoori Specialities · Tandoori Chicken (4 pieces) · Tandoori Chicken (8 pieces).
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 · Peshwari Naan.
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: Chicken Shahi Korma · Lamb Shahi Korma · Navratan Korma.
Samosa: A triangular pastry filled with spiced potato and peas (or minced meat), deep-fried until blistered and crisp, served with tamarind and mint chutneys. Samosa chaat smashes one under chickpeas, yogurt, chutneys and sev. On this menu as: Vegetable Samosa · Meat Samosa · Samosa Chaat.
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: Paneer Biryani · Saag Paneer · Shahi Paneer.
