Khambhat Papad Chavanu

From the whispers of sand beneath shoes, to the rustle of butter paper in the deft hands of kitemakers. The soundscape of Khambhat can be described as a mixture of crunches - just like papadnu chavanu.

It’s packed with rich, aromatic spices—full of taste yet gentle on heat, so you can savour big, generous mouthfuls! With the perfect balance of spices, crisp papad flakes and that unmistakable sweet-and-salty twist only a Gujarati snack can master. Trust us, you’ve never had chivda like this before, it will take you by surprise.

Khambhat, a princely state of the British Raj and once one of India’s most prominent trade hubs, was a crossroads of merchants from across the globe. Famous for its exquisite cotton and silk, the city earned its place as a vital link in India’s maritime commerce since the 14th century. Though its harbour has long since given way to nature’s tides, the legacy lives on in its timeless delights like Papad Chavanu. Enjoy your journey into Khambhat!
