Bombay mix is the name most commonly applied in the United Kingdom and Ireland to traditional Indian [snack mixes] known as chiwda, chevdo, bhuso (if made without potato), chevda (चिवडा) or chivdo (चिवडो) in India, or Chanāchura (Odia: ଚନାଚୁର) in Odisha, chanachur (চানাচুর) in Bengal, and chuda by people from Mumbai. 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. A large variety of mixes are sold in the UK under a variety of names with Bombay mix, the best known often used as the generic term. The traditional Indian food can be eaten as part of a meal; as a standalone snack, though, it is usually consumed with the hands.
