Indian spices serve different purposes from adding heat, layering to create depth of flavor and even as a means to add a little color to a dish. They also serve medicinal or health benefits.

The spices I use most often are: cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, cloves, red chili powder, mustard seeds and garam masala (spice blend).
