I tried to learn it from heart...although difficult to remember all of them. I faced real problem when I tried to explain some English or French person about Indian foods....and then I completely missed to name a particular spice....At times, It was surprising to even search for english of "Lahsan" (garlic)...or Adrak(ginger). I try to list them...may be helpful for someone else...as well.
