Bhutte ka kees is a Madhya Pradesh snack of grated corn sautéed with mustard seeds, green chilli, and sometimes milk, the chilli and oil content make it unsuitable for regular dog feeding.

Bhutte Ka Kees is a Madhya Pradesh snack of grated corn cooked with mustard seeds, green chilli and often milk.

Corn itself is a fine, digestible carbohydrate for dogs in small amounts, but this dish is cooked in oil with a tempering of mustard seeds and green chilli, both of which can irritate a dog's digestive tract, especially with repeated feeding.
