Basic Terms in an Indian Restaurant

If you're visiting an Indian restaurant for the first time, the menu may appear to be a little intimidating. The dishes' names may be difficult to pronounce, and you may have no idea what they mean. But don't worry, this article will teach you how to order in an Indian restaurant by explaining the meanings of some Indian terms. Please have a look!

Biryani

This is a truly exotic dish that exemplifies the best of Indian cooking techniques and aromatic spices. Indians adore biriyanis, and there are restaurants that exist solely to serve them. It is the king of all rice dishes. Fortunately, it is not a very hot dish, though it is spicy and deliciously aromatic. Biriyanis vary by region and can be prepared with vegetables, meats, or even fish. It is a good idea to try a meat (chicken or lamb) biriyani because it is something that almost everyone will enjoy.

Masala

If a dish contains the word'masala,' it is almost certainly spicy. Of course, the word'masala' means'spices,' but what kind of spices it contains and how much depends on the chef who prepares it. If you don't like it too hot, ask the waiter to reduce the chilli quotient slightly. You'll do well if you order a rice dish, such as the Pulao, along with a'masala' dish.

Shahi

The word literally means "royal," implying that the dish is fit for kings! This word is usually used to describe a dish that is rich in spices, cream, and ghee, resulting in a heavy dish. If you're looking for a truly exotic Indian experience, order a'shahi' dish taste and get your taste buds tickled!

Bhurji

The word essentially means'scrambled.' This dish will be dry and should be accompanied by Indian breads such as Rotis, Chapatis, Parathas, or Naan. Bhurjis can be quite hot, so ask your waiter how hot it will be before ordering and choose an accompaniment such as Raita (light Yogurt side dish).

Achaari

When a dish contains the word achaari, it means that it contains spices used to make pickles. It is likely that it will be a dry dish seasoned with cumin, coriander, chilies, turmeric, fennel, and mustard. It's a good idea to pair such dishes with something that has gravy in it, like 'Dal' or 'Raita.' 'Murg Achaari' is a delicious chicken dish made with the finest Indian spices.

Malai

This word means "cream." Dishes with the word'malai' will be rich and creamy. The Yarra Indian Restaurant is an Indian restaurant that specialized in delicious and mouth-watering indian cuisines. Visit this best Indian restaurant at south Yarra and try the best indian’s cuisine there.
