B for Bhutte Ka Kees - From MP








So the second with B. There are lots of  finger licking Regional Dishes with B. 

Bati Chokha as termed in UP ,  is originally called Litti Bharta and has its origin from Bihar. This is perhaps most famous and I would discuss more under L. 

Bise Bele Bhaat  is  a spicy, rice-based, lentil mixed meal from Karnataka is another worth a mention.

Biryani is another world famous delicacy and has different flavours from different parts of India. Moradabadi Biryani would be different from Hyderabadi and so on. 

Bajre ki Khichri is yet another light luncheon which is healthy and is from Haryana. 

But here I will talk about Bhutte ka Kees - A  tea time snack from MP. 

It is easy to cook and a famous street food in Indore. 
The dish is basically a coarse paste of corn (Bhutta) , cooked with ginger, green chillies and common spices as per taste. Many videos & recipe are available on the net that would make the cooking easy. Just for recap , here goes the recipe:

Ingedients:
Corn : 1 cup / Full corn -3
Milk - 1 cup

Add turmeric powder, and salt and stir for a minute on medium flame, Add the paste of corn. and Cook for  a few minutes stirring continuously . Add red chilli powder towards the end saute.
