Itā€™s easy to go overboard on spices and they go stale/lose flavour quickly, so maybe build a collection up by starting with a few basics and then adding as you need them?

You might not need star anise or sesame oil unless youā€™re cooking Chinese, and the sesame seeds are a luxury sprinkle.

The list looks pretty solid though.

I used to use ground coriander seed with cumin and onion in a rice dish but itā€™s not an essential.

Paprika comes in a few kinds so pick your favourite. Thereā€™s the plain sweet paprika which adds a lot of colour but just a little bit of a capsicum taste, smoked paprika which is stronger in a good way, and also a hot paprika I havenā€™t tried.

Some things you might like to have as well are soy sauce, fresh or jarred garlic, and white vinegar.

Also if you do anything sweet you might like to have some vanilla essence. Itā€™s good even just in a microwave mug cake.
