Dishes to know on this menu

Paneer: Fresh, unaged cheese made by curdling hot milk with lemon or vinegar 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 the standard vegetarian protein on North Indian menus. On this menu as: Paneer Tikka · Chana-Chhena Tikki · Paneer Methi.
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: Tangri Kebab · Shami Kebab.
Chaat: The tangy, crunchy, sweet-sour-spicy family of Indian street snacks: crisp bases (papdi wafers, puffed rice for bhel, potato patties for aloo tikki chaat) piled with chickpeas, yogurt, tamarind and mint chutneys, chaat masala, onion and sev (crunchy chickpea-flour threads). Meant to be eaten immediately, before it goes soft. On this menu as: Kale Pakora Chaat · Chana-Chhena Tikki.
Korma: A Mughal court braise: meat or vegetables cooked slowly in a pale, rich sauce of yogurt, cream and ground nuts (cashew or almond), scented with cardamom and saffron. Mild on most restaurant menus; navratan ("nine jewels") korma is the vegetable-and-fruit version. On this menu as: Murgh Hari Mirch Korma.
Chana masala & chole: Chickpeas stewed in a tangy tomato-onion masala with amchur (dried mango powder) or tamarind, often finished with tea-leaf-dark color and a shower of raw onion and cilantro. Chole bhature, the chickpeas with puffy fried bread, is Delhi and Punjab's definitive brunch. On this menu as: Chana-Chhena Tikki.
Bhuna, dopiaza & do pyaza: Menu styles you will see repeated across proteins. Bhuna is a thick, dry, deeply reduced masala; dopiaza uses "two onions", cooked in two stages; pasanda is creamy with almonds; dhansak (Parsi) combines lentils, vegetables and a sweet-sour note; achari uses pickling spices; methi means fenugreek leaf; balti is the Birmingham-born fast, wok-cooked style served in the steel bowl it was cooked in. On this menu as: Paneer Methi.
