Bombay mix is an Indian snack mix which consists of a variable mixture of spicy dried ingredients, such as sev, fried lentils, peanuts, chickpeas, chickpea flour ganthiya, corn, vegetable oil, puffed rice, fried onion and curry leaves. This is all flavored with salt and a blend of spices that may include coriander and mustard seeds. It is part of a category of snack food called Farsan.
