 In Hyderabad, along the tankbund you can see kids, adults , elderly almost everyone holding a roasted butta! This Corn on the cob has a special taste because of the way it is made. It is roasted on coal while the butta wala swings his jute fan to keep the heat and keeps constantly turning the corn ensuring it roasts well on all sides. then he swiflt rubs a lemon slice dipped in spices over it and serves it in a corn peal. Absolutely lip smacking
