Indian spices
This is a list of spices commonly used in Indian cuisine.
Curry is not listed, as it is not actually a spice, but rather it is a term which refers to any Indian dish eaten with rice, or more commonly, any dish with a gravy base.
Indian spices are often heated in a pan with oil to instensify the flavor before adding other ingredients.
