Ingredients
- 6 ears corn, shucked
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ cup cotija cheese crumbles (or feta)
- 1 teaspoon chilli powder
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions
Preheat the braai to a good heat. Rub some cooking oil on the braai grate.
- While the braai is heating up, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, cheese, chilli powder, garlic, and cilantro in a large bowl. Stir until consistent and set aside.
- When the braai is hot, place the corn directly over the heat and cook for about 10 minutes, occasionally rotating, until cooked through and charred in spots.
- With tongs transfer the corn to a serving board and use a large spoon to coat all sides with the cheese mixture evenly.
- Sprinkle with extra cheese, chopped cilantro and chilli powder and serve immediately with lime wedges.
MEGAMASTER RECIPE TIPS
Tip 01
Only have unshucked corn? Try microwaving the ears for a minute or two before shucking to make it easier.
Tip 02
Want a healthier alternative? Try substituting the sour cream with Greek yogurt.
Tip 03
What about for the kids? Cut the corn in half and stick kebabs skewers in each end or remove the corn from the cob and mix with the same sauce in a bowl to make it easier and less messy.
