The Paraguayan INAN article names Chipa Rora among chipa varieties. The maize chapter of Asociación Paraguay Orgánico’s Recetario de Cocina Resiliente also names chipa rorá among traditional preparations using dry maize. These are named food traditions rather than accounts of who invented this particular recipe. The broader chipa histories and other chipa recipes do not establish Rora’s formula.

Source limits: Exact invention chronology and country associations or alternate-name relationships are unresolved.
