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, crossposted!

Vermicelli

Could it be jaggary?

Is it this?

Like this?

Google sweet vermicelli.

We call it semiya.

@GrumpyHoonMain yeah, sorry, awful photos! It looks more like that than anything else...

I have left them a review asking what it was... Don't want to bother them during the Saturday night rush! Might pop in tomorrow...

Is it not Friday today ??

Love your username OP, I loved that thread about Jesus and the cabbage van :p I could just eat whatever that is myself!!

in the

Oops! Yes, sorry. Promise I'm not some weird mystery pudding troll, just perennially confused. Friday night rush.

Is it orange color? My DH loved a dessert in India that was essentially grated carrot and sugar...

Ohh i wonder what it is. It sounds good though

Just here for the update...

@Tinyandpetite thank you! Feels weird to read that thread now - I've been Jesus for yonks.

Nope, definitely not carrot and I don't think it's jaggery. It's a bit too rough in texture to be vermicelli I think.

I do wonder if they've accidentally given us a tub of some sort of topping or raw ingredient, and we've just been scarfing it down like heathens.

Looks like something called Feniya. Also spelt pheni. It’s a type of vermicelli which is softened in ghee and sugar, usually with saffron and pistachios. My Punjabi Nan makes it every year for Diwali and as it’s Diwali tomorrow, that’s my best guess

@HelpMeh

Is it this?

Yes I think it’s a variation of this

Shamelessly placemarking...

We had some kind of crunchy, sweet thing in a tub once as part of the popadom pickle tray! Had no idea what it was but it could be the same thing (also place marking! 🤣)

I would have scarfed it down too!

It's called pathisa. It's sugar strands with crushed pistachio,almonds and sometimes cardomoms

Sutarfeni but all crushed up?

Ring them and ask them what it is

Some sort of falooda?
