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 · Paneer Tikka.
Paneer: Fresh, unaged cheese made by curdling hot milk with lemon juice or another acid 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 used throughout North Indian cooking. On this menu as: Saag Paneer · Paneer Tikka.
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.
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 Makhani.
Saag & palak: A dish of cooked leafy greens such as mustard greens or spinach, with spices and sometimes other ingredients. Sarson ka saag (mustard greens) eaten with makki ki roti, a maize flatbread, is the best-known Punjabi version, and saag gosht pairs the greens with mutton. On this menu as: Saag Paneer.
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.
