Gaia Masala & Burger showcase dish from the official website

Garam masala: "Masala" simply means a spice blend, or the sauce built on one. Garam masala ("warm blend") is the finishing mix of cardamom, cinnamon, clove, cumin, black pepper and other whole spices toasted and ground, added at the end of cooking for aroma rather than heat. Every region and household has its own proportions. On this menu as: Masala Favorites · Chicken Tikka Masala · Butter Masala Chicken.
Tikka masala: Chunks of roasted marinated chicken (tikka) in a creamy, spiced tomato sauce. Thought to have been created in Britain, possibly in Glasgow, rather than in India, and now one of the most popular dishes in Britain; paneer tikka masala is the vegetarian version. On this menu as: Chicken Tikka Masala · Tikka Masala Chicken Cheesesteak.
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 · Tikka Masala Chicken Cheesesteak.
Korma: A Mughal court braise: meat or vegetables cooked slowly with yogurt and spices into a thick sauce, often enriched with cream and ground almonds and scented with cardamom and saffron. Milder and more aromatic than most curries; navratan ("nine gems") korma is the vegetable version, usually with paneer or nuts. On this menu as: Chicken Korma.
Biryani: A layered rice dish of spiced meat, seafood or vegetables, cooked slowly so the rice takes on the flavors of the meat and its marinade. It likely developed in the Mughal court kitchens from Persian pilau, and is now one of the most popular dishes in South Asia, with regional styles such as Hyderabadi. Pulao is the plainer, unlayered cousin. On this menu as: Chicken Biryani.
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: Garlic Cheese Naan.
