1 teaspoon coriander seed
1 teaspoon turmeric

Steps:

First peel the garlic and ginger.
Put a frying pan on a medium to high heat and add the spices for toasting to the dry pan. (Cumin, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds and coriander seeds)
Lightly toast them for a few minutes until golden brown and smelling delicious, then remove the pan from the heat.

Either way, when you've ground them, whizz the toasted spices in a food processor with the rest of the ingredients until you have a smooth paste.
