I have Kutch same as cutch which is a tough paper
Kutch is in the Gujarat .Much leafing through Chambers !

Many thanks shaney ... I should have spent more time looking through Chambers myself.
I did find Kutch on a word search, but for some reason dismissed it ! ;O(
Hope all is well (S) xx

Solution is KUTCH - Rann of Kutch is area in Gujarat; kutch also means set of tough paper sheets used by gold beaters (usually spelled cutch)!
