Place the corn on a wire roaster or on the open fire and roast over medium-high heat. Rotate the corn every 40-50 seconds so the corn gets roasted evenly. Keep rotating and roasting until all the sides are charred & cooked evenly. Alternatively, you can also roast corn on an outdoor grill, griddle pan, or in the oven.

Once roasted, brush each corn nicely with butter while they are hot. After that, dip the lemon half in the prepared spice mix to coat with spices. Brush the spice mix lemon all over the corn until all the sides are generously-coated with the spice mix. Make sure to slightly squeeze down the lemon while brushing to release the juice. Dab the lemon again in the spice mix as many times as needed. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro & serve hot!
