BOMBAY MIX or CHIWDA    
     

Bombay mix is the name used in the UK for a traditional Indian snack known as Chiwda or Chevda in India, or Chanachur in Bangladesh. The English name is from the city of Bombay, now called Mumbai. It consists of a variable mixture of spicy dried ingredients, which may include fried lentils, peanuts, gram flour noodles, corn, vegetable oil, chickpeas, flaked rice, and fried onion. This is all flavored with salt and a blend of spices that may include coriander and mustard seed.

Bombay Mix or Chiwda  


In the United Kingdom, some supermarket brands of " Bombay mix" also contain sultanas or raisins, resulting in a sweet taste and less crunchiness. This is a departure from the authentic recipe. The Bombay mix served to customers of Indian restaurants and take-aways does not contain dried fruit.

In the USA it is alternately and more often referred to as "Punjabi mix".

In Australia and New Zealand, it is called "Bhuja mix" and is often not very spicy.
