I want to buy some buy don't know what it's called. Thanks!

Sugar coated fennel seeds are one of the more popular ones at restaurants. Often they come packaged with other seeds too, so have a look to make sure you get what you want. There are also savory mukhwas like dhana ni dal (the insides of coriander seeds, my favorite) and addictive ones like betel nut + tobacco (yuk) and regional ones like toasted oregano seed + sesame seed + salt (OK, actually that's my favorite).
