paprika
garlic powder

You'll find these in most Cajun and Tex-Mex recipes. Also provides most of the ingredients to make dry rubs and sauces for barbecuing. Pretty versatile little list, if I do say so myself.

In roughly decreasing order of commonality:
Spices:
• delicate paprika
• caraway
• strong paprika
• celery seed
• cinnamon
• cumin
• various homemade chili powders
• white mustard seed
• homemade onion and/or leek powder
Herbs:
• parsley
• dill
• herb celery
• lovage, when I can fucking find it
• European basil
• coriander/cilantro
• sage
• marjoram
• rosemary
• thyme
• Vietnamese basil
I use others, too, but those are certainly my most common. Herbs I tend to buy fresh and dry them myself.

Parsley, oregano, basil, garlic, crushed red pepper
Paprika is all #1 by far, I use it in almost everything. I recently got into smoked paprika (most paprika is sun-dried) and I like it even more than the regular stuff, it has this great 'hickory' flavor to it.
Second is cayenne pepper. I use this in many dishes too, not quite as often as I use paprika because there are some things I don't want too much heat in.
Third is turmeric (strictly for color, I don't really notice much of a flavor off it).
Other than that, I also use chili powder, cumin (occasionally), oregano, saffron, as well as dried rosemary and thyme (not sure if the last two are counted as spices)
cinnamon, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cilantro, turmeric, cumin, red pepper...

anything other than salt or pepper is meme seasoning
I almost never use black pepper.
Otherwise I use fresh ginger, cumin, fish sauce, shrimp paste, tomato paste and red peppers, dried orange skin, garlic, coriander, Asafoetida and grains of paradise are other favorites.

Onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, basil, rosemary, thyme, sage, mustard powder.. Probably even more than that, I like to make alot of savory meat dishes and stews.

I swore off every processed onion product. Fresh onions are so superior.

Agreed but sometimes you dont want the chunk in your soup which is why I'll occasionally opt for the powder
>>7669894
That's understandable however, they do soften up nicely in soups.

I hope that garam masala is a home mix and not store bought shit. Grinding and mixing your own is much nicer for when you don't have the time to do it all seperately

Onion powder/salt and fresh onion don't taste exactly alike, kinda like how apple juice doesn't taste exactly like apple or how dried tomatoes don't taste quite like fresh ones. Furthermore, they're not used the same way, either.
They're two different products used in ways disparate from one another.
For those who use onion powder/salt, have you tried freshly-powdered onion before? While fresh and powdered onion are incomparable, freshly-powdered is leaps and bounds better than storebought onion powder.
Buy "dried minced onion" or whatever it may be called where you live, put a bit into a blender, dedicated spice mill (like a coffee grinder used only for spices) or a food processor and run it through to powder it. I doubt you'll go back to storebought onion powder once you try it freshly powdered.

I've never used garlic powder, though I doubt it'd be so bad.
>>7671392
Of course, freshly toasted and powdered is better, but many have difficulty finding all of the various components for garam masala/curry powders, so I don't begrudge people who use storebought. If anyone has access to the various whole spices and good quality turmeric powder (or dried turmeric slices), however, he really ought to give homemade a try at least once to see how it compares.
>>7671382
They have a different flavor from fresh garlic and onion. They're a valid addition.
