Air Fryer Indian Masala Corn and Elote
Hello Foodies,
We’ve been enjoying this warm weather of summer in Florida! And I’ve been using my GoWise air fryer to help prepare side dishes. This Air Fryer Indian Masala Corn and Mexican Elote is the perfect side to burgers, chicken, and more! In the summer, we love to eat corn on the cob as our main dish too. It’s one of my favorite summer foods!
Cooking corn in the air fryer is easy, quick, and tastes so delicious! If you don’t want to heat the grill for just 2-3 corns, air fryer is the best way to go without heating an oven or grill! The roasted and crispy flavors for sweet corn are so great. Do try it!

What is Cotija Cheese?
Cotija cheese is a dry, salty cow’s milk cheese made in Mexico. Cotija is an enhancer. Take your dishes to the next level by crumbling or grating over Corn, tacos, or soups where you’d like to add a bit of saltiness and tang in flavor. Cotija does not melt. And to make Mexican Corn this Cotija cheese is perfect, but if you could not find you can use feta cheese, Parmesan or Pecorino Romano, these are works well, too. The secret of Mexican Corn is the cheese. It would be best if you found Cotija. It is the Mexican cheese, equivalent of grated parmesan, and you can find it in the refrigerated cheese section in some stores.
What can I use instead of Cilantro/Coriander leaves?
You can totally replace cilantro with basil, parsley, scallions, or chives would all be delicious instead.
What else I can use in the recipe:
Mayo, yogurt, sour cream, or a combination of yogurt and sour cream would be delicious in this recipe. Just after greasing cooked Corn with butter, apply a layer of mayo, yogurt, sour cream, and then sprinkle seasoning and cheese.

Tips:
- If air-fried corns are not warm, then slather with butter, cheese, and seasoning and place it on the aluminum foil or parchment paper and broil for 3-4 minutes or until it becomes warm.
- Also, if you want it browned like Indian street corn then set the timer for 20 minutes. After the first 10 minutes, turn the corn in the basket, so that it gets evenly cooked.
- I have used fresh corn on the cob for this recipe. You can use frozen corn too, however, make sure that it is defrosted.
- You can adjust the spice and salt levels as per your taste.
