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 Combo.
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 Combo.
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: Aromatic Chicken Biryani.
