ij> The values for first level of keys (key1,key2) will be provided to the

All of those include a common misunderstanding: The curly braces tell
Ansible "start (and stop) Jinja parsing", they don't delimit variables.
Once you're parsing Jinja, you don't need to start again in the middle.
I think you want something like
- debug: msg="value - {{values[key]['val1']}}"
"values" and "key" aren't quoted, becuase they're variables. "val1" is,
because it's a literal string.
ij> And also, can someone guide me to a good resource which can educate me
ij> with the advanced syntax and usage of both YAML and Jinja2 ? I am sick
ij> of this hit and trial but couldn't find a detailed resource either.
Others may have better ideas here, but I often use
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_filters.html and
http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/dev/templates/ for Jinja help.
