A mix of Indian spices and sweets as a sort of digestive aid after dinner. any idea what that is called?

Question

I used to have a little scoop of it out of a bowl they had on the counter at this great place called Ganges in Montreal. I think it had fennel or some similar seeds in it.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Sugarcoated saunf(aniseed or fennel seed). Sometimes it is also coated with digestive things such as mint, masala with rock salt ect.

Answer 2

Saunf are fennel seeds & supari is betel nut.

The tasty mixture is called MUKHWAS (literally translates into mouth freshner):

Mukhwas is an Indian after-meal snack or digestive aid made primarily of fennel seeds, anise seeds, coconut, and sesame seeds. They are sweet in flavor and highly aromatic due to added sugar and the addition of various essential oils, including peppermint oil. The seeds are often also coated in sugar and brightly colored. Some are taken with medicinal purposes in mind.
