Ingredients:
- Fresh corn on the cob
- Olive oil (for brushing)
- Chaat masala
- Red chili powder
- Black salt
- Lemon wedges
- Chopped fresh cilantro (coriander leaves)
- Roasted cumin powder
Instructions:
- Start by removing the husks and silk from the corn cobs. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water and pat dry.
- Lightly brush each corn cob with a thin layer of olive oil. This will help the spices adhere and give the corn a slight crispness when air-fried.
- In a small bowl mix chaat masala, red chili powder, and black salt. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the oiled corn cobs, ensuring they are evenly coated with the spices.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the spiced corn cobs in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. Air-fry them for about 15-20 minutes, turning them occasionally for even cooking.
- The corn is ready when the kernels are tender and slightly charred. The exact cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer model.
- Once cooked, transfer the Air-Fried Chatpata Bhutta to a serving plate. Squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the corn cobs and sprinkle them with roasted cumin powder for an extra burst of flavor. Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves.
- Serve the Air-Fried Chatpata Bhutta hot as a delectable snack or side dish. The blend of spices, the smoky aroma, and the juicy sweetness of the corn will leave your taste buds craving for more.
