Farsan is a popular type of Indian cuisine that refers to any kind of savoury snack from sev gathiya to khamani, dhokla and khandvi. Tracing its origin in the state of Gujarat, this food culture made its way into the heart of Mumbaikars. Today, for many, especially office-going Mumbaikars, farsan has also become their daily breakfast.

Yours Truly CHEDDA was established by Ramesh Chedda’s grandfather who shifted to Mumbai from Gujarat for a living.
