Bhutte Ka Kees


Bhutte ka kees is a popular and delicious street food of Madhya Pradesh prepared using corn, spices and milk. Bhutte is nothing but a corn. Generally, grated corn is used but if it is unavailable, corn kernels can also be used by grinding it coarsely. The grounded/grated corn is cooked with spices and simmered in milk to get a delicious and creamy dish.


Prepared this yummy and quick dish for an event Shhh Cooking Secretly Challenge hosted by few co-bloggers. Click HERE to view all my previous recipe posts prepared for this event. And for October month, I was paired with a wonderful and talented blogger Seema Duraiswamy Sriram who blogs at mildlyindian.com. She gave lemon and coriander leaves as a secret ingredients and using those, prepared Bhutte ka kees which was a big hit in my home. Especially, my father loved this dish a lot and asked me to prepare it again after couple of days. Bhutte ka kees can be served as a great tea time snack or as a breakfast. No side dish is required for this dish. Though grated coconut is optional in this recipe, the addition of it gives a lovely taste.
