Bhutte Ka Paratha is one of my favorite ways to use fresh corn when it’s in season. I learned this recipe from my grandmother, who always made these on rainy days. The sweet corn filling, mixed with just the right amount of spices, creates magic when stuffed inside soft paratha dough. The best part? It’s much easier to make than it looks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen corn instead of fresh corn?
Yes, but drain it well and pat dry before grating. Fresh corn gives better texture and sweetness, but frozen corn works in a pinch. Just make sure to cook it a bit longer to remove extra moisture.
How do I prevent the stuffing from coming out while rolling?
Don’t overstuff the paratha, seal the edges well, and use enough dry flour while rolling. Roll gently from the center outward, applying even pressure.
Can I make the dough and filling ahead of time?
The filling can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge. The dough is best made fresh, but you can keep it covered for 2-3 hours at room temperature.
Is this recipe suitable for beginners?
Yes. While stuffed parathas take some practice to perfect, this recipe is very forgiving. Start with less filling until you get comfortable with the rolling technique.
