Grilled or Roasted Corn / Indian Style Corn on the Cob / Bhutta
Those rainy days, when you step out of the shuttle just right infront of the lady who would be roasting corn and its hard to resist and not give up on having those warm corns...and then bitting into the corn kernels while you walk back to the apartment...
This is the perfect season to have them. When its raining...the weather would be chill...and with the least effort you get to make it at home. Just Perfect. Or if you stay in a place where it is summer then consider grilling it while you do some barbecue. These are perfect to go with some grilled non veg too.

That was the scene some 10 years back when I was working and not married...These days the scenes have changed. Its like buying the corn and getting it grilled at home and enjoying it at the comfort of home while you watch rain pouring down, from the window. Life changes but the tastes or the preference to certain foods hardly changes.
Last rainy season in Pune, we had been totally enjoying the bhutta or Corn on the cob quite often, that my lil one also started calling out 'bhutta' wherever he used to see it. He loves it. Its super hot here but looking at this post, which was drafted a year back and never made it to the blog made me realize its raining in pune, where this pic was taken. Those little hands that you see going to grab a corn is not that plump any more. I don't understand why these kids have to grow up so fast.
