Spices I use regularly

Here are a list of spices i constantly use. If you live in Pittsburgh, Bombay Mart is a great place to buy spices and veges because it’s cheap! if you live in Seattle my mom goes to Mayuri although it's NUTSO on the weekends and evenings:

Garam Masala: Staple in my house. My mom makes it from scratch but I have no idea how to so for now buy it at the Indian grocery store.

Chili Powder: Indian chili powder is HOT but good and I suggest you buy it from an Indian store. If not use Cayenne

Ginger Garlic paste: My mom and I make this together if you have a blender you can its equal parts ginger and garlic and cumin blended together. If you don't want to make it they sell it at the indian store.

Whole Cardamom cloves: whole cardamom I think can be found in the grocery store if not definitely the Indian store

Cloves: the black things I bought them at giant eagle in the spices aisle

Channa Dal: I don’t know what its called in English but it’s a lentil you can find it at the Indian store in the lentil/rice section

Mustard Seeds: If you don’t know what these are don’t cook Indian. Just kidding.

Cumin: same as above

Curry leaves: not a spice but it’s delicious and you can find it at the Indian store in the vege section

Thai chilies: I use Thai because they are hot but use whatever you want
