A famous street food from Madhya Pradesh cuisine. Very easy and delicious no onion garlic recipe. You can serve it as a teatime snack.

Thanks a lot dear 😊
Awesome. My mom used to make it. Love it.
Thanks Ruchi 😍
I had made this too last year.. So delicious and healthy snack.
Thank you so much Shobha 😊
The Gujaratis prepare a similar dish with grated corn. I think this version has subtle variations from the Gujarati one, and will taste equally awesome. Great share for the theme! 🙂
Thank you so much Priya. Never tasted Gujarati version. Have you the recipe on your blog?
I don’t have the recipe on the blog yet. Would you like me to make it and share the recipe? Do let me know, and I would be happy to share it. 🙂
Oh wow! If you can please do. I want to try Gujarati version too. Waiting for your post 😊😍
I’ll try my best to do it soon. 🙂
Thank you. And you already did it 😊
Oops! I just realised I already have this recipe up on my old blog. Been quite a while since I posted it. The Gujarati version and the Maharashtrian version are the same:https://thegalnxtdoor.wordpress.com/2016/07/03/maharashtrian-style-corn-upma/
Just read your post. Yes similar and we bong like little sugar in our dishes to balance the taste. So I think its perfect for my taste. Thank you 😊
Do try out this version! Hope you will love it as much as we do! 🙂
Sure 😊
The bhutte ki kees looks delicious… an Indian much delicious version to the American cup corn I suppose… hehe… I msut try this for my girls, they love corn and I am sure they will devor this!
Thanks a lot Rafeeda. Please do try and let me know how it turns out. I also love corn 😊😍
Its one of my favorite snack and I always make it whenever the corn season begins as tender corn is the best for this dish. Gujjus call it makai no chevdo. As to the method of preparing it, its the same, the only difference is we use white corn instead of yellow and also add a bit of sugar to balance the taste.. sweet and tangy.
Wow! Next time I will try your version. I love sweet tangy mixed taste 😊
Loved the kees and I am planning to try this soon post Diwali. Few ingredients but so delicious!
