Rainy season is the much awaited season for children. The steamy Bhutta at VNIT gives grown-ups a reason to wait for it too. When you see the butter melting on the kernels, you exactly know what awaits you. The very first bite of the butter loaded corn stimulates your taste buds and raises your spirits. The traditional ‘Bhutta’, with the lip smacking ‘Nimbu-Namak-Chutney-Butter’ combination is truly a treat to the senses. Corn has been experimented into various recipes. It is added to dishes to increase its taste and nutritional value. Preservation techniques have made it possible to have corn dishes all along the year but as the saying goes “Usme wo baat kaha?” Fresh corn is fresh corn and nothing beats it!
Since 5-6 years, Bhayyaji, a guy from Madhya Pradesh puts up his thela at VNIT during the Bhutta season. I and my friends have been his regular visitors. He selects the perfect one for you. He roasts the Bhutta to perfection, loads it generously with your favourite toppings and serves it with such affection as if handing one’s own baby to someone. It is his dedication and love for this business that makes you visit his thela often.
For Nagpurians, the association of VNIT is stronger to the Bhutta than to engineering. If one decides to write about Nagpur, one just cannot miss out on VNIT ka Bhutta. This place is just perfect for a perfect evening, in a perfect season and in just the perfect city - Nagpur! Friends, Family, Spouse, Colleague...everyone becomes a perfect company when you park your vehicles along the road to relish this delicious treat!
