Dishes to know on this menu

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: Nimbu Fish Tikka · Malai Chicken Tikka · Paneer Tikka.
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 · Truffle Naan · Chili Garlic Naan.
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: Dinner — Classic Thalis · Samundari Thali · Club Thali.
Roti, chapati & paratha: The unleavened whole-wheat family. Roti and chapati are thin and dry-griddled (tandoori roti is baked in the clay oven); paratha is layered with ghee and pan-fried, plain (lachha, spiralled) or stuffed with potato, cauliflower or paneer; rumali is the tissue-thin "handkerchief" bread. Puri and bhatura are fried and puff up hollow; bhatura is the large, leavened one served with chole. On this menu as: Dahi Puri Chaat · Multigrain Roti · Lachha Paratha.
Aloo, gobi, bhindi, baingan, matar: The vegetable vocabulary of a North Indian menu: aloo is potato, gobi cauliflower, bhindi okra, baingan eggplant (bharta is roasted and mashed), matar peas, jeera cumin. Malai kofta are dumplings of paneer and potato in a creamy gravy. "Aloo gobi" is potato and cauliflower; "matar paneer" peas and paneer, and so on. The name is the recipe. On this menu as: Aloo Ragda · Bhindi Achari · Gobi Matar.
Chaat: The tangy, crunchy, sweet-sour-spicy family of Indian street snacks: crisp bases (papdi wafers, puffed rice for bhel, potato patties for aloo tikki chaat) piled with chickpeas, yogurt, tamarind and mint chutneys, chaat masala, onion and sev (crunchy chickpea-flour threads). Meant to be eaten immediately, before it goes soft. On this menu as: Aloo Ragda · Dahi Puri Chaat · Green Pea Tikki.
