Delicious Indore street food made with Corn, Milk, spices and garnish with coconut. Since the Monsoon season is here, Corn aka bhutta is available in the market. This season calls for Garma Garam Bhutta with some lemon juice, salt, and black pepper sprinkled at the top. Ah! What relish!
Bhutte ka Kees is a delicious, healthy, and super yummy street food that is very popular in Indore and Bhopal. I tried this recipe for the first time when I got married in Bhopal. Here we make Bhutte ki Kachori, which is another famous recipe.
Bhutte ka Kees is nothing but grated Corn, cooked in milk, masalas. Imagine, it’s raining outside and you are enjoying a big bowl of piping hot Bhutte ka, Kees, ah! heavenly!
Ideally, desi bhutta or corn is used in making Bhutte ka Kees and not the American Corn. The reason behind this is, American Corn is soft and it is difficult to grate them. Desi bhutta is readily available in this season which makes this recipe perfect to try this Monsoon.
I have used the desi ones, these were neither too soft like the American Corn nor too hard that it is difficult to grate. Instead of grating the corn, I took a short cut/kitchen hack of taking out the Corn kernels and then blending it in a mixer.

Ingredients

|
- Grate or grind the corn into a coarse paste and set aside. I have grinded it in a mixer jar. You can grate it using a grater.
- Heat oil in a deep bottom pan or a kadhai. Add rai, jeera, and chopped green chilies. Sauté till it starts to crackle.
- Now add grated bhutte/corn and sauté for 2-3 mins on low flame. Keep stirring in between as it tends to stick to the pan.
- Now add milk and cook it on a low flame for another 3-4 minutes. Cover the lid and let it cook. The milk and corn will start cooking together and the mixture will get thicken.
- Now add haldi, lal mirch, garam masala, salt, sugar and lemon juice. Taste the mixture at this stage. You can adjust the taste. It should taste khatta-meetha.
- Cook it for another minute and switch off the gas. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and grated coconut.
- Serve it immediately.
- Instead of milk, water can be added too.
- Adjust the spiciness according to your taste.
- You can avoid sugar if using American sweet corn.
