Dishes to know on this menu

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 · Chicken Biryani · Lamb 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 Grill · Tandoori Chicken.
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: Chicken Tikka Masala · Chicken Boti Tikka · Prawn Tikka Masala.
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 · Prawn Tikka Masala.
Saag & palak: Saag means cooked greens: spinach, mustard, fenugreek or a mix. palak is specifically spinach. Puréed and simmered with ginger, garlic and cream, then paired with paneer, chicken or lamb. Sarson ka saag (mustard greens) with corn flatbread (makki di roti) is the Punjabi winter classic. On this menu as: Lamb Saag · Saag Paneer.
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: Chicken Boti Tikka · Beef Seekh Kebab.
