As per Taste Atlas, it is believed that Ashok Vaidya, a street vendor who operated close to the Dadar train station in the 1960s and 1970s, is the creator of this famous street dish. He considered ways to satisfy the starving employees and came to the conclusion that the perfect cuisine would be inexpensive, easily transportable, and simple to make. After Vaidya created this snack, its popularity skyrocketed.
