spices & their malayalam version

most of the time i get confused with the spices names especially the cumin and fennel seeds i never get them correct even when my mother says get me the nallajeerakam or perinjeerakam.i always give the wrong one. i am sure most of u have been through the same problem . so thought let me compile the spice names and put it here.
