What has the Indian takeaway given us?? Pic included

[JesusInTheCabbageVan]

Ordered a takeaway tonight, all very nice, but instead of the mushroom bhaji I ordered they have given us this. It's some kind of a sweet thing, like crunchy sugar. Definitely no mushrooms. Thing is, DS loves it and wants it again next time, and I can't work out what it is. They don't even have a dessert section on their website! (It is very nice.)

Oh interesting, looks like coconut, is it?

It looks similar to the inside of a peshwari nann bread🤔

How odd. It looks like toasted coconut to me.

It's Diwali so there are loads of special delicious Indian treats around right now! Happy munching!

I think Thistles24 may have it.

Could it be something like Tahdig? Doesn’t really fit with the Indian takeaway though.

Maybe halwa?

Looks like a peshwari naan to me too. Does it seem like very sweet naan bread? They are divine.

Looks like dry coconut chutney for poppadoms maybe?

Coconut barfi?

No idea what it is, one of my local takeaways is a bit crap but they always include a little tub of the most delicious rice pudding ever, which almost makes up for the mediocre food.

100% certain it's not coconut. Tried to take a better picture but no use!

You have to ring them and ask, OP. I want to know!

I love the coconut sprinkles some places do for poppadoms. Never found a takeaway that does them though. This is more like concentrated sugar, with a slightly caramelized taste. DS has told me about 50 times to save it (as if takeaway ever gets binned in our house ).

Patissa?

I will do them a review on JustEat and ask them!

Coconut rice. My mum gets it and it doesn't have pieces of coconut in but more like a granulated sugar with coconut flavouring iyswim?

Definitely not Tahdig or halwa, sorry! It's really crunchy.

Hmm the photos are terrible but could be sukhi sevaiya. Its more commonly a Pakistani or Bangladeshi dish though, not Indian, but as most chefs are Bangladeshi it’s a possibility.

Definitely no coconut taste!

Googled patissa and doesn't look like that either. Mystery!

But I’m assuming you have definitely ruled out a coconut dish. A lot of South Asian restaurants use freshly grated and it doesn’t test like coconut at all lol.

Could you phone them and put us out of our misery? I want to eat it

I think I know what it is but don't know what it's called .

I think it's a type of sweet vermicelli .

Is the crunchy stuff vermicelli?
