Use a lot of onions, fresh ginger, black pepper and serrano/jalapeno
peppers(if you can tolerate the heat) and some turmeric, cinnamon,
cloves and nutmeg to make your curries. You will barely miss the
coriander/cumin at least in tomato-based North Indian dishes. For
South Indian dishes like sambhar/rasam you are out of luck, although
you should be fine if you can stick to the coconut based ones like
kootu/avial.
Good Luck,
Kamala.
