What are those spices?
I was organizing and labeling my spices cabinet when I run into those two spices that I cannot recognize. I'm assuming one of them is fenugreek. I'm quite sure I bought them when I had 'Indian cuisine' phase.
Cropped & sharpened

The left item seems looks and feels like a chopped peanuts or bark. However it has a onion-like/garlic-like smell with some earth or bark component.

It is quite hard to tell as the photo is blurry. The one on the right could well be fenugreek, it should be a blocky irregular shape with a division on it somewhere.
Edit: with the sharpened photos:
It looks like a nut of some sort, possibly peanut because of the presence of what looks like a plumule (see 5th figure down page) in the flake at the bottom middle.
I can't make out the one on the left, but it might be coconut flakes or possibly something like liqorice powder or even garlic flakes.
Agree that stuff on the right is fenugreek.
The stuff on the left is asafoetida.

Asafoetida is a resin and is sometimes sold in chips as depicted. It smells strongly like onions or garlic which would not be true for any nut.
