In a saucepan add water and baby corn and let it cook for 3 mins. After 3 mins switch off and drain the baby corn. Wipe them dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
Slice the baby corn into two.
In a mixing bowl add all-purpose flour, Corn flour, Tomato sauce, Soy Sauce, and Sriracha Sauce.
Also add garlic powder, red chili flakes, Pepper powder, and the required salt.
Combine everything. Now add water and bring it to a thick slurry.
Dip the sliced baby corn into the prepared slurry.
Next spread the panko breadcrumbs in a bowl and dip the baby corn into the breadcrumbs. Press gently and let the breadcrumbs coat over the baby corn.
Repeat for all the baby corn and let them freeze for 15 mins.
Preheat the air fryer to 200 C / 400 F for 5 mins. Brush or spray oil on the air fryer basket. Arrange the baby corn on the basket. Spray in some oil.
Airfry at 180 C / 356 F for 12 mins. After 6 mins make sure you flip them and brush or spray some oil. Airfryer baby corn fries are now ready.

Notes
Boiling the baby corn at first and then sliting them helps in cooking the baby corn real quick.
Always leave space between the baby corn when placing them in the air fryer basket.
Freezing the baby corn before air frying helps the breadcrumb stick over well.
Using panko breadcrumbs gives a beautiful texture to the baby corn.
Goes well with any dipping sauce or ketchup.
Always dab the oil over the baby corn. Pressing it hard will remove the bread coating over the corn.
