    Indian cuisine uses a vast array of spices. They are used in many forms: whole, ground, roasted. They work like magic to any preparation. A subtle change of spice combination or cooking technique can make the same recipe tastes completely different.

    I have compiled a handy list of spices names in English, Hindi, and other languages. In addition, I have added a few images of regularly used spices with names for a better understanding. If you like to know their uses in cooking, you can check this recipe section.
