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: Biryanis · Vegetable Dum Biryani · Chicken Dum Biryani.
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 Amritsari · Paneer Makhan Masala · Paneer Bhurji Jain Style.
Vada pav & pav bhaji: Mumbai's bread-roll (pav) street food. Vada pav is a spiced potato fritter in a soft roll with dry garlic chutney: the city's burger. Pav bhaji is a buttery mash of vegetables and spices served with griddled, butter-soaked rolls. Misal pav is a fiery sprouted-bean curry topped with farsan (crunchy mix). On this menu as: Vada Pav · Mumbai Pav Bhaji · Misal Pav.
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: Palak Paneer Jain Style · Makkai Palak Jain Style.
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: Vegetable Thali · Meat Thali.
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: Samosa · Samosa (Lunch).
