* I have a great curry powder that is full of all the other spices so I don't bother adding them...if you can find something like that save yourself the expense of having a million different 'indian' spices...otherwise..health food stores often sell spices loose..so you can get as much or as little as you want and not have to buy whole bottles of odd spices at the supermarket :)
