Starting my Indian food adventure I needed to backtrack a little for some basics.

The foundations of flavor – the spices.  

I am happy to find that I do have several of the common spices used.   Although, some I had never heard of and have no idea what to expect.  What is the seasoning like?  Why is is used?  What types of dishes is it used in?

Well, thanks to this list it is all simplified.  Enjoy!
