Bombay mix

Indian savory medley

Bombay mix is a savory Indian snack of fried noodles, lentils, peanuts, and spices—salty, crunchy, and often spicy.

Sold in bags like chips, it's eaten as a snack or scattered over dishes for texture.

The name reflects British-Indian origins; in India similar mixtures are called namkeen or chevda.

We put out bowls of Bombay mix at the party.
