[[Chaat]] is considered the predecessor of pani puri. According to the culinary anthropologist Kurush Dalal, chaat originated in Northern India (now [[Uttar Pradesh]]). Food historian Pushpesh Pant opines that pani puri originated in North India (around modern-day Uttar Pradesh). He also noted that it was possibly originated from Raj-[[Kachori]].
