Elote is a popular street food in Mexico. It is roasted or boiled corn that is served on the cob or in kernels. The best part, though, is the generous layer of mayonnaise, spices, chili sauce and Cotija cheese that comes along with the corn. Try our Indian version of Elote or Masala Corn that has all the mouth watering flavors of chaat (chat). It’s perfect for a picnic or an easy make ahead appetizer. There are so many ways to cook corn including roasting on an outdoor grill, using the microwave, Instant Pot, traditional pressure cooker, air fryer or boiling in a pot on the stove top. Use any cooking method and see how delicious this summertime treat can be any time of the year.
