The crunchy bit/s ! I've seen it mentioned on the forum a few times, and certainly recall finding it in more than a few BIR curries over the years...but what is it? Could it be a half teaspoon of hing? And on that note, are there any main dishes that use onion seed?

Unclear what your actually talking about, can you elaborate! :D

Absolutely not : half a teaspoon of hing would overpower any normal portion size of curry. If you bite into something firm that gives between your teeth and has a wonderful taste/flavour when chewed, it is most likely to be a whole green cardamom (elachi).
And on that note, are there any main dishes that use onion seed?
As in kaloonji ? None that I am aware of in the BIR repertoire -- I associate kaloonji seeds more with traditional Indian starters, but they also find their way into onion bhaji in the better establishments.
