Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Bhutte Ki Kees

  • For extra creaminess: Use full-fat coconut milk instead of regular milk (or a mix of both).
  • Adjust the spice level: Add more or less chili powder to suit your preference. You can also use a combination of green chilies and red chilies for a richer flavor.
  • Don't overcook the corn: Overcooked corn can become mushy. Cook until it's tender but still retains some texture.
  • Fresh is best: Using fresh corn on the cob whenever possible will make a significant difference in taste and texture.
