Chivda - An Introduction

Ever wondered about the details of the Duckworth Lewis method for rain affected cricket matches and the rationale behind it? Well wonder no more, just head over to Wikipedia and all your questions will be answered. So what is the r/K selection theory? Why, it is the two strategies of living beings to ensure survival - a large number of offspring who don't need much care or a small number with significant investment by the parents. It is all there on wiki. But look up Chivda (accessed on 05 Mar 2016) and what do you get? You get redirected to a page called Bombay Mix. A packet of chivda supposedly sold in the UK. And it is called Bombay Mix. Now I grew up in Bombay when Bombay was called Bombay and I have never heard of the Bombay Mix. But never mind, if the name of a place is in the name of the dish then it is probably not called that in its place of origin, it just originated there and outsiders added the tag later. Again, not so. If there was such a thing as Bombay Mix, it should be either the Batata Chivda or the Farsaan. This one seems to be neither.
