I would suggest Naan and some sort of delicious lamb curry. Mmmmm. Oh, wait, you mean ideas for the wine!!! Ohhhhhhh.
The classic pairings with Indian food are Gewurztraminer/Riesling/Sauv blanc on the white side, and merlot or a light-bodied Zinfandel would go well on the red side. However, Pinot Gris or Chardonnay can work too, as can a rose or Shiraz. What dishes are you having, exactly?
With spicy foods, you need to avoid red wines that are very high in tannins or alcohol, as these things will increase the perceived heat of the dish. Fruity wines or those that have a touch of sweetness are best.
A nice dry Riesling and a lighter style red would pair nicely. If the menu is on the hotter side you could have a bit sweeter white. If you want a bit of spice to your white a Traminette from NY would work perfectly!
