I guess most of you are already familiar with this spice mix, but for those who are not then you should try to get some or better still make some up. Its main purpose in life is for vegetable cooking, but it is also used in some pickles. It is fairly common for BIRs (especially ethnic and up-market) to use this mix for precooking vegetables, and sometimes adding it the the finished dish.
It has a smoky flavour (and smell) which comes from the Kalonji (onion seed). It is great for Potato dishes, e.g. Bombay Potato, Aloo Ghobi. Use it sparingly until you get used to it. Normally you would add it at the beginning of cooking, i.e. fry with the initial Onions, Garlic etc. The recipe if you want to make it is below.
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp fennel seeds
1 tbsp fenugreek seeds
1 tbsp Nigella seeds (Kalonji, Onion Seeds)
1 tbsp black mustard seeds
Bon Adventure!

Thanks CC, I was worried about salt because I thought it may toughen the curd.
