Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cup Corn Kernels fresh, from about 2 ears of corn
- 1 Onion finely chopped, medium
- 1-2 Chilies adjust to your spice preference, finely chopped, green
- 1/4 cup Milk as needed, or more
- 1 tbsp Ghee
- 1/2 tsp Mustard Seeds
- 1/4 tsp Asafoetida hing
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
Garnish
- 2 tbsp Coriander Leaves chopped, fresh
- 2 tsp Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Remove the kernels from the corn cobs using a sharp knife.
- In a large non-stick pan or skillet, heat the ghee over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and asafoetida. Once the mustard seeds splutter, add the chopped onions and green chilies. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions soften and turn translucent.
- Add the fresh corn kernels, salt, and red chili powder to the pan. Stir well to combine. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is slightly softened and the flavors meld.
- Pour in the milk and continue to simmer for another 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly and reaches a creamy consistency. Stir frequently to prevent sticking. The milk helps create a luscious texture.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. The lemon juice adds a bright, tangy note that balances the richness of the corn and milk.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious Indori Bhutte ki Kees!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra flavor and crunch, garnish the finished dish with roasted peanuts or sev just before serving for an authentic street-style presentation.
- If fresh corn is unavailable, use frozen sweet corn, but pulse it briefly in a food processor to mimic the coarse, grated texture traditional to Bhutte Ki Kees.
- To enhance the tangy notes, squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the dish right before serving, or add a pinch of chaat masala for a true chaat flair.
Expert Tips
- Adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer green chilies according to your preference.
- For a richer flavor, try using ghee instead of oil for sautéing the spices and corn.
- Experiment with different herbs like cilantro or mint for a fresh twist.
Storage Instructions
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Gently reheat with a splash of milk to restore the creamy consistency before serving.
