Steam is the cure.
Breath in steam 3 times a day.
I do this and my cold is gone within 3 days.
I've got one of these but you can just use a bowl and a towel.

A good start, is getting the whole spices that you grind yourself. In the same way that freshly ground coffee is better but more so.
To grind the spices, you will need either a mortar and pestle, or an electric coffee grinder (often comes free with a blender).
Difference aromatic spice blends are used in different parts of india, so north india tends to be coriander seed and cumin, while sri lanka is mustard seeds, and fennel seeds, maybe with a bit of cinammon.
Chilli, garlic, and root ginger is pretty standard throughout i think.
A tip taught to me by a sri lankan is to roast the spices before grinding. This means heating the spices in a dry pan for a few seconds until they darken. It has a similar effect on spice flavours as roasting does to peanuts, makes them more mellow and brings out deeper richer flavours.
Oil will carry flavour more than water, and some spices have very light lemony flavours that will be lost in long cooking, so one trick can be to add a bit of ground spices fried in a little oil to a curry at the end of its cooking. Lentils are often served this way.
One trick that restaurants use, is to cook meat and sauce separately and just mix when serving.
The meat is cubed and roasted or fried until just tender, so not cooked for long, while the sauce is cooked in a big batch over a low heat and used as needed.
You will get to know the flavours of different spices, you will need much more coriander seed than anything else as its flavour isnt as strong as other things.
There is a brand of bottled sauce called geetas, that comes with its own spice sachet, and jar of sauce, that are mixed for cooking. This preserves the spices flavours, but could also mean that you could experiment with doing your own spice mixes that you freshly grind, without having to learn how to make the rest of the sauce too.
Another good alternative to just relying on a whole jar, is to get curry paste, that you then add other things to, like a can of coconut milk.
Often the bulk of a curry sauce, is liquidised fried onions. ____________________ colin1 is officially faster than god |

At least it's hitting you now rather than ruining your Christmas and New Year's Celebrations.  |
