Butter chicken (murgh makhani): Tandoori chicken finished in a silky sauce of puréed tomato, butter, cream and a little fenugreek, sweeter and gentler than tikka masala. Invented at Moti Mahal in Delhi in the 1950s as a way to use leftover tandoori chicken. "Makhani" (buttery) on any dish, including dal makhani, promises the same rich treatment. On this menu as: Butter Chicken.
Rogan josh: Kashmir's signature lamb curry: bone-in meat braised in a deep-red gravy colored by Kashmiri chili and ratanjot (alkanet root), with fennel, ginger and yogurt. Aromatic and medium-spiced; the name is usually glossed as "red juice" or "red heat". On this menu as: Lamb Rogan Josh.
Dal: Dried split pulses (lentils, peas and beans) and the stews made from them, a staple across the Indian subcontinent. In the south, split pigeon peas (toor dal) are the base of sambar, the lentil-and-vegetable stew served with dosa and idli. On this menu as: Dal Bukhara.
Kadai / karahi: Named for the wok-like iron pan it is cooked in: meat or paneer stir-fried at high heat with a coarse masala of crushed coriander seed, dried chili, tomato and bell pepper. Drier and punchier than a gravy curry; the Pakistani karahi is cooked with tomatoes, green chili and ginger, often by weight for the table. On this menu as: Chicken Karahi.
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: Malai Chicken Tikka.
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: Afghani Seekh Kabob.
