Re: help with kitchen essentials !
Well usually many stores do have kitchen starter sets that include almost every basic thing required to establish a kitchen. Like this one in attached link
Product: Homemaker 80 piece kitchen starter set - Kmart
I bought this when i relocated, however the qualities of such things is not good usually but still they are of great help to start with.
Rest you would be needing basic electronics such as microwave, fridge, electric kettle, toaster. Dining set would be another requirement that contains plates, bowls, and mugs/cups. Glasses you would need obviously.
Dish strainer after washing dishes to be placed, other small stuff can be like sponges for washing cleaning, a dish washing liquid.
If you are keen to make roti etc at home then rolling pin and the chakla. You may need containers to put masalas, sugar, tea, atta, rice in them. I did not buy them immediately for ata and rice im still not having containers and masalas i used to keep in packets as was waiting may be some jars will get empty lol but i purchased them then.
You would be needing serving dishes also that are microwave safe and you can put in fridge too. You may also need a rack to keep onions potatoes etc, although i did not take that.
A chopper plus blender for me was a necessity so i bought that immediately too. I am so much into this so for me it was a requirement, as im more interested to use home made masalas 9for biryani nihari etc0 and ginger garlic paste than to purchase from shops.
if your stove does not has in built lighter you may need one that too. I can remember these things hope it would help

Oh god, it is a pain in the butt to shop for kitchen. The stuff never ends and I mean it. Well a good tip, buy good quality cooking pots! They are essential for desi cooking. Circulon and Calaphon are great brands for pots and stuff and lasts for years.
P.S The prices might scare you but trust me, it is one of the best investment you can do for your kitchen.
