Chef's Tips
Bhutte Ki Kees is a beloved Indore and Ujjain street food — grated fresh corn is essential.
Use fresh, young corn — mature corn is too starchy and doesn't give the right creamy texture.
Stir continuously once milk is added to prevent sticking and ensure smooth texture.
This dish is best eaten during the monsoon corn season in Madhya Pradesh.
