Most salads are cold, but the tandoori salad ($6) at Bombay to Beijing (14025 Southwest Fwy., 281-242-4242) is hot — sizzling hot, in fact. This sensational vegetarian dish is bursting with colors and flavors. Three thick slices of the Indian cheese paneer are marinated along with slices of tomato, bell pepper and onion in a mixture of paprika and Kashmiri chili. It's all cooked in the traditional tandoor oven, giving everything a wonderful smoked flavor, and then served on a sizzling platter. What a terrific dish.
