Garam masala: "Masala" simply means a spice blend, or the sauce built on one. Garam masala ("warm blend") is the finishing mix of cardamom, cinnamon, clove, cumin, black pepper and other whole spices toasted and ground, added at the end of cooking for aroma rather than heat. Every region and household has its own proportions. On this menu as: Tikka Masala · Chicken Tikka Masala · Paneer Tikka Masala.
Tikka masala: Chunks of tandoor-grilled marinated chicken (tikka) simmered in a creamy, mildly spiced tomato gravy. Almost certainly invented in Britain's Punjabi restaurants rather than in India, and now the most-ordered dish on Indian menus in the English-speaking world. On this menu as: Tikka Masala · Chicken Tikka Masala · Paneer Tikka Masala.
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: Tikka Masala · Chicken Tikka Masala · Paneer Tikka Masala.
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: Saffron Biryani · Chicken Biryani · Lamb Biryani.
Momo: Nepali and Tibetan steamed dumplings filled with spiced minced chicken, buffalo, pork or vegetables, served with a tomato-sesame or chili dipping sauce (achar). Jhol momo come in a spiced soup; kothey are pan-fried; chilli momo are tossed in an Indo-Chinese-style sauce. On this menu as: Momo Dumpling · Chicken Momo · Vegetable Momo.
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 Entrées · Tandoori Chicken · Tandoori Salmon.
