but due to this pandemic we are not able to consume outside food so no problem............we will make it at our home. but before that we talk about the name "bhutte ka keesh" bhutta means corn and the keesh is Marathi word means grated. 

we made it with desi corn not by sweet corns. because the taste of desi corn is natural and bhutte ka keesh aka fajita is made up with desi corn. and my mom is very particular about the authenticity of desi food. 
second thing that the corn silk is very beneficial for our body Corn silk is used for bladder infections, inflammation of the urinary system, inflammation of the prostate, kidney stones. It is also used to treat congestive heart failure, diabetes, high blood pressure, fatigue, and high cholesterol levels. see lots of benefits and we just through it. so from today onward just boil the water add corn silk strain it and drink it.

personally i love the flavor of curry patta ......and we have to add it to our diet it is very beneficial and very healthy for body and second this it makes your dish beautiful by looks or by taste. so we will add curry patta in it and make it flavorful and delicious.

so lets discuss the recipe of "bhutte ka keesh"

gehun(wheat) ki kheer 

hey there,hope you all are doing well.

be safe guys and stay home and make delicious dishes........and try a recipes from A PINCH OF SALT ......i hope you tried some of dishes.......and keep trying so today i am going to share you gyus a beautiful and yummy dessert.....and yes it also from my mom's kitchen so today we will talk about kheer yuo all heard about rice or chawal ki kheer, suji ki kheer, or sabudana kheer but today we have a speical kheer called gehun ki kheer...........yes gehun(wheat).......sounds like different know but yes its famous in madhya pradesh or specially in bundelkhand its a region of madhya pradesh.well people are making it usually but in some places they have their own certain reasons of making it.

The word 'Kheer' is derived from the  sanskrit word for milk ksheer. Ksheer is also the archaic name for sweet rice pudding
Kheer was a part of the ancient Indian diet and is mentioned in the Ayurveda 

so, basically it is made up with a broken wheat or you can say kuta hua gehun.......and yes in this kheer people are using diffrent gehu called "kathiya gehun" or "laal gehun" thats why this kheer is unique and different the way of making it also different or special since kheer is an very important dessert in Indian cuisine so as same as its important and special in every religion we all know India is a democratic country.
like sewiyan is special for some, paysam is special for some, phirni is for some.......................................lets back to the topic why this laal gehun ki kheer is healthy However, for people who tolerate it, whole-grain wheat can be a rich source of various antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
and second thing we are using jaggrey instead of sugar...........as we all know sugar is very harmful for our health...................and white poison for some.

so now the recipe of it........................guys you can make it at the occasion of rakshabandhan and ........start your rakhi procedure by gehun ki kheer
there you go

ingredients-:
1/2 cup of broken laal gehun or broken wheat if you dont have laal gehun
1/2 lt of  milk
1/2 cup of jaggrey 
1/2 cup of khoya
2 tbs of chopped and roasted dry fruit including chirongi daana 
1/2 tsp green cardamon powder
 
a pinch of salt
method
firstly we have to soak our gehun(wheat) for 4-5 huors.
then pressurecook your soaked wheat with  3 cup of water for 7-8 whistel then turn off the range.
after some times remove a lid of pressure cooker again bring it into a heat and add milk, stir  well add khoya, cardamom powder cook it till wheat become soft.
at last add jaggrey and mix well. turn off the flame and and serve hot or chilled.
personally i like chilled.
and why we add jaggrey at last because it prevent milk to curdle
