How to make Indore's famous Bhutte Ka Kees for dinner at home

Bhutte ka Kees is a traditional dish from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, known for its comforting texture and subtle flavours. Made with grated corn, minimal spices, ghee, and milk, it is a rich and creamy delight that is best served with roti. Here's the simplest recipe to try at home.

2 cups fresh corn kernels, 2 tbsp ghee, ½ tsp mustard seeds, 1 green chilli, 1 tsp grated ginger, a pinch of asafoetida, ½ cup milk, salt to taste, 1 tsp sugar, 2 tbsp coriander leaves, and 1 tsp lemon juice

First of all, grate the corn finely and squeeze lightly to remove excess moisture.

Now, heat ghee in a pan and add mustard seeds and let them splutter.

Also, add green chilli, ginger, and hing. Sauté for a few seconds and add the grated corn as well.

Next, add salt and sugar, mix well and cook on low heat. Keep stirring continuously until corn turns soft.

Now, pour in the milk and mix well. Cover the lid and cook on low heat for 5–7 minutes.

Once the mixture looks thick and creamy, garnish with fresh coriander and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve hot with roti.
