When visiting India or even trying out your local Indian restaurant here in the States or in the many other countries across the globe where the Indian diaspora has made a home away from home, it will be immensely useful and admirable to be able to speak in Hindi. If your servers are Hindi speakers, they will be impressed with your knowledge of the language and culture when you order in Hindi and demonstrate your familiarity with some basic dishes that appear on most Indian menus. So, without further ado, let’s learn!<\/p>\n

*Notice the use of “\u0906\u092a\/aap” only here\u2013\u2013a server would never address you as “\u0924\u0941\u092e\/tum” because that is overly informal and familiar unless, of course, you know that particular server well. Likewise, if you wish to be polite, you can use \u0906\u092a\/aap with servers and others working in service-oriented professions, although this degree of politeness is not expected from a customer in India.<\/p>\n

    1. (\u092e\u0938\u093e\u0932\u093e) \u091a\u093e\u092f<\/strong> (masaalaa chaay): Chai (fem. noun) is a hot, milky black tea that is sometimes served only with sugar (\u091a\u0940\u0928\u0940<\/strong>, fem.) and some cardamom (\u0907\u0932\u093e\u092f\u091a\u0940<\/strong>, fem.) and ginger (\u0905\u0926\u0930\u0915<\/strong>, masc.), but can be served as a “hot, spicy tea,” (\u092e\u0938\u093e\u0932\u093e \u091a\u093e\u092f<\/strong>) my favorite kind, with a plethora of spices, such as those listed above in addition to ground cloves (\u0932\u094c\u0902\u0917<\/strong>, masc.), cinnamon (\u0926\u093e\u0932\u091a\u0940\u0928\u0940<\/strong>, fem.) and black peppercorn (\u0915\u093e\u0932\u0940 \u092e\u093f\u0930\u094d\u091a<\/strong>, fem.). Different regions have their own variations of the classic \u091a\u093e\u092f<\/strong>, such as the Tibetan butter tea popular in places like Dharmshala (where the Dalai Lama lives) and the Bengali \u0932\u093e\u0932 \u091a\u093e\/\u09b2\u09be\u09b2 \u099a\u09be<\/strong>, which is made with black tea (called “red tea” because of the appealing red color of the tea leaves steeping in hot water) combined with milk and sugar, but you are unlikely to find most “exotic” variations in Indian restaurants in the States.<\/li>\n
    2. \u0932\u0938\u094d\u0938\u0940<\/strong> : Lassi is a thick, yogurt or curd-based (\u0926\u0939\u0940<\/strong>, masc.) drink that can take on a variety of flavors. You can get just a plain lassi with sugar in it, or a salty one (\u0928\u092e\u0915 \u0915\u0940 \u0932\u0938\u094d\u0938\u0940 or \u0928\u092e\u0915 \u0935\u093e\u0932\u0940 \u0932\u0938\u094d\u0938\u0940<\/strong>) seasoned with cumin (\u091c\u0940\u0930\u093e<\/strong>, masc. noun) or even a mango lassi (\u0906\u092e \u0932\u0938\u094d\u0938\u0940<\/strong>) with pureed mango in it.<\/li>\n
    3. \u0915\u094b\u0932\u094d\u0921 \u0921\u094d\u0930\u093f\u0902\u0915<\/strong> : Cold drinks in India are usually synonymous with sodas. If you get the chance to try Indian soda, I highly recommend the ever-popular “Thums Up,” the refreshing lemon-lime flavor of “Limca” or the orange-flavored “Mirinda.” “Maaza” is also a popular mango fruit juice, though not technically a soda.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        1. Now, this is most likely good material for another blog post, but I will go into a bit of detail about the dishes I mentioned above. \u092a\u0928\u0940\u0930 \u091f\u093f\u0915\u094d\u0915\u093e \u092e\u0938\u093e\u0932\u093e<\/strong> basically just refers to small pieces of paneer or a mild-tasting, semi-solid type of cheese. \u091f\u093f\u0915\u094d\u0915\u093e<\/strong> just means a small piece and \u092e\u0938\u093e\u0932\u093e<\/strong> of course refers to a mixture of spices in the dish’s curry or sauce, which is usually rich (especially in Indian restaurants in the U.S.) and contains \u0918\u0940<\/strong>\/clarified butter, cream and pureed tomatoes. This is a good vegetarian option, but for those who are carnivorous, chicken \u091f\u093f\u0915\u094d\u0915\u093e \u092e\u0938\u093e\u0932\u093e<\/strong> is also a good option.<\/li>\n
        2. \u0906\u0932\u0942 \u0917\u094b\u092c\u0940<\/strong>: another vegetarian dish. It consists of sauteed \u0906\u0932\u0942<\/strong> or potatoes and \u0917\u094b\u092c\u0940<\/strong> or cauliflower, cooked in \u0918\u0940<\/strong>\/ghee (clarified butter) and a mixture of spices and often coriander (\u0927\u0928\u093f\u092f\u093e<\/strong>). It is a hearty dish perfect for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.<\/li>\n
        3. \u092a\u0930\u093e\u0920\u093e<\/strong>: a popular side dish of thick, unleavened bread with layers throughout it often made from wheat flour or \u0906\u091f\u093e<\/strong>\/aataa, as opposed to \u092e\u0948\u0926\u093e<\/strong> or white flour, which is much less healthy but can be made into some particularly tasty parathas as well. It is common for North Indians to choose a variety of bread such as naan, chapati, roti or paratha to break into pieces with their fingers and scoop up the flavorful curries on their plate. Bengalis and South Indians, on the other hand, prefer to do this with rice (\u091a\u093e\u0935\u0932<\/strong>), which North Indians also enjoy in addition to some variety of bread (most commonly a \u0930\u094b\u091f\u0940<\/strong>\/roti).<\/li>\n
        4. \u092d\u0947\u0932 \u092a\u0942\u0930\u0940<\/strong> : this refers to a type of \u091a\u093e\u091f<\/strong>\/chaat or sweet and savory snack made of a variety of textures and flavors.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
