Easy to identify with all the clues given. Called bhutta भुट्टा in Hindi. Come monsoon and we all wait for it.
Apart from eating bhutta roasted on charcoal fire, it is an essential ingredient in Veg Corn Soup. Masala Corn in movie halls is also a great hit. And how can you forget the crunchy Pop Corn!
