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: Let's Chaat · Samosa Chaat · Aloo Tikki Chaat.
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.
Indo-Chinese: Manchurian & chilli chicken: The Chinese cooking of Kolkata's Hakka community as adapted to Indian tastes: battered cauliflower or chicken tossed in a garlicky, soy-and-chili "Manchurian" sauce, chilli chicken or paneer with green chili and peppers, Hakka noodles and "Schezwan" fried rice. A cuisine of its own, and a fixture of most Indian restaurants' appetizer pages. On this menu as: Indo Chinese · Gobi Manchurian · Chilli Chicken.
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: Palak Paneer · Paneer Chilli · Punjabi Paneer Makhni.
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: Kurkuri Bhindi · Lasuni Gobi · Aloo Tikki Chaat.
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 · Angarey Tandoori Chicken · Tandoori Mixed Grill.
