About Indian spices:

Curry powder (or paste) is not a spice in and of itself.  It is a custom
blend of spices.  The Spice Islands variety in the supermarket tastes
like the primary ingredient is cumin.  A good Indian cook varies the
ingredients in the curry (powder, paste or sauce) depending on the dish.

Would anyone care to share their favorite curry blends?  What is the
best way to grind the spices (in particular toughies like fennel seeds)?
Do electric coffee grinders work?
