Bombay Mix is the name used in UK for a traditional Indian snack known as chevda (चिवडा) or chivdo (चिवडो) in India. The English name originates from the city of Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay), India. It consists of a variable mixture of spicy dried ingredients, which may include fried lentils, peanuts, chickpea flour noodles, corn, vegetable oil, chickpeas, flaked rice, fried onion and curry leaves. This is all flavoured with salt and a blend of spices that may include coriander and mustard seed. The traditional Indian food can be eaten as part of a meal or as a standalone snack.

What we call Bombay mix refers to a whole family of fried crispy snacks – eaten between meals, with tea in the afternoon or nibbled long into the evening. It is far from exclusive to Bombay. In some versions the crispy element is flattened rice (paua) or puffed rice. Noodles (sev Indian name) made from chickpea (gram) flour in varying thicknesses, some thick, and some as fine as vermicelli.
