Dishes to know on this menu

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: Karahi.
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-roasted Meats.
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: Kabab.
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: 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: Naan.
Roti, chapati & paratha: The unleavened whole-wheat family. Roti and chapati are thin and dry-griddled (tandoori roti is baked in the clay oven); paratha is layered with ghee and pan-fried, plain (lachha, spiralled) or stuffed with potato, cauliflower or paneer; rumali is the tissue-thin "handkerchief" bread. Puri and bhatura are fried and puff up hollow; bhatura is the large, leavened one served with chole. On this menu as: Paratha.
