02Mix chilli, chaat masala and salt on a plate.

03Dip the cut lemon in the mix and rub it all over the hot corn.

BUNTY KA TIP“Chief Mirchi Officer approved. Sunder daalo, swaad badhao.”Rub with the lemon itself, not a spoon. It's how the bhutta-wala does it.

Can I make bhutta without a gas flame?

Grill or broil the corn, or roast in a hot pan, turning often.

Which corn is best for bhutta?

Desi corn is traditional. Sweet corn works too.
