Anyone know whether you can get the base constituents of Bombay mix as bags on their own?

I love bombay mix, but would love it more if I could customise it to just the skinny bits and chillied lentils. Maybe with some chickpeas. i.e. hold the peanuts and garlic sticks.

anyone done it? know an online seller? or the name of what im looking for?

I find picking out the bits i want to eat, is a good way of doing it!

curry house hoover bag?

sev? = deep-fried chickpea noodles
I think thin and thick bits are both sev.

There are a few shops in Bristol, that sell large bags of the skinny bits and the other bits…I think, it's kind of star shaped as a cross section and quite a bit chunkier than the really skinny ones. I bought a **** off big bag of it with a similar plan to yours. I ended up scoffing the lot because those bits are my favourites. I think they're maize based but guessing.

Funny that, I've just discovered the sainsburys mix…not bad at all. Much prefer the nuts out of it though… I suspect you might need to pay some ethnic supermarkets a visit. They do all different variations of these mixes too.

Words cautioning against such a rash scheme here and here. Otherwise some variation on this – looks relatively easy to follow and is probably quite close to what you want

The Indian name for it is Chivda or Chiwda.
Bloke at work's mum makes it and it is absolutely delicious – much much better than the supermarket stuff. Sometimes we get it without all the ingredients.
Anyway, if I remember I'll ask him for the recipe – you can email me if you want to remind me.

Deepaks, the Indian cash and Carry on Garrat Lane, Tooting SW17 seem to have endless varieties of the mixes, and their constituent parts. I would not be at all surprised if other similar establishments carried a similar stock.

Something without raisins in.

Our local curry house mix has them in. Just as you are enjoying them there is a sweet raisins time bomb

Spoke to Vee – his mum's in India until next month. Keep an eye out for this thread though as it may be resurrected 🙂

cheers for all that guys.
