There are several markets in the three block stretch of Chinatown (in Belgrano) that carry a wide range of spices, herbs, and mixtures from all over Asia, including Indian spices. The selection tends to vary as stuff is imported seemingly somewhat at random, but at least the major stuff tends to be available regularly. Prices are very inexpensive.
There are also many imported and (for here) exotic spices at Doña Clara - Av. Corrientes 2561, in Once. A little pricier, but really good quality, and not prepackaged, so you can choose how much you want of each. I like it more than El Gato Negro, which is only a few blocks away, and think they have both a better and fresher selection.
