Spices: flavor with less salt

Spices are an excellent way to add flavor to your food without the need to use a lot of salt.

Pictured are my favorite spices, used to cook Indian foods. The spices are (starting clockwise at the 1 p.m. position):

• Curry powder
• Garam masala
• Coriander
• Turmeric
• Cumin
• Cumin seeds
• Red chili powder (center)

The one that I use a lot is cumin. What is your favorite spice?
