I don't know if I was supposed to eat this

Hubby and I have recently been exploring Indian cuisine, and had lunch at an Indian restaurant last Friday. Food was great. As we were leaving, there was a counter by the door that had toothpicks, peppermints, and a small bowl of what looked like seeds of some kind - mostly green and red and a few yellow. There was a small spoon in the bowl. I didn't think they were for eating, but hubby took a handfull, popped some in his mouth, and said they were good. I tried a few and it tasted like perfume...it tasted like the scent of the incense in the restaurant. I quickly spit it out, which made me feel bad, cause I did it right in front of the restaurant window, and I really did enjoy the food. It took a good hour before the taste left my mouth. Hubby got a good laugh and no ill side effects that I know of. Can anyone shed some light on what I ate? I feel dumb for asking, but I need to know :-}
