Tandoori mixed grill sizzler with green and red chutneys and chana at Indian Delhi Palace

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: Chili Paneer · Paneer Tikka · Shahi Paneer.
Aloo, gobi, bhindi, baingan, matar: The vegetable vocabulary of a North Indian menu: aloo is potato, gobi cauliflower, bhindi okra, baingan eggplant (bharta is roasted and mashed), matar peas, jeera cumin. Malai kofta are dumplings of paneer and potato in a creamy gravy. "Aloo gobi" is potato and cauliflower; "matar paneer" peas and paneer, and so on. The name is the recipe. On this menu as: Aloo Tiki · Bhindi Masala · Malai Kofta.
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 · Garlic Naan · Fire 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: Aloo Parantha · Bhatura · Roti.
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 Fries · Tikka Masala · Goat Masala.
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 · Tandoori Chicken · Tandoori Shrimp.
