I don't know if you forgot anything. . . I know nothing about this cuisine.

Thinking of branching out a bit, trying something new. Just DO NOT want to buy a bunch of one time use things. I'd rather invest in a few tastes that can be used in a few Persian recipes, keep myself covered, KWIM?

Thanks for your input.

Rose water or rose oil
Saffron
Orange water

orange zest

curry

there is a dill-rice dish that uses quite a lot of dill

I'm not Persian, but have learned a few dishes from my Persian friends.

It really depends on what the recipe calls for.

Pretty much other posters covered all you need.
If I may add something that's SPECIFIC, ground rose petals (to be added to meat) pomegranate molasses (for stews, gosht), sour cherries (for meatballs), black onoin seeds/kalonji (for rice dishes), fenugreek (leaves and seeds) and dried lime.
