I know, Raghavan Iyer (RIP) did his best to take the mystery out of Indian curries. Madhur Jaffrey and Julie Sahni did the same. Still, I open a book and look at all the spices, and get tired thinking about it.
Are you familiar with the Indian spice tins many home cooks use? I first saw one at an India born neighbor's. Hers had more than 7 I think. nyway - a nice typical selection all tgether. Here's one (eG-friendly Amazon.com link).
