Fresh rosemary, bay leaves and thyme (and coriander!)
spices: paprika, cinnamon, safran, cloves, nutmeg, cardamom, a bit of cumin
i do use fresh ginger and red chili in lots of dishes too

Fresh: Parsley, mint (we like fresh mint tea) and thyme.

I love coriander but DC don’t 🙄. Dill and basil rather than thyme in summer.

Dried: oregano

Spices: cumin, smoked paprika, normal paprika, cayenne. Plenty of close runners up though. Use garam masala a fair bit.
