Indian side's air shot getting cheers (5)
I believe the answer is:
raita
'indian side's' is the definition.
(raita is an Indian side dish)
'air shot getting cheers' is the wordplay.
'shot' indicates an anagram.
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'cheers' becomes 'ta' (both can informally mean thank you).
'air' is an anagram of 'rai'.
'rai'+'ta'='RAITA'
(Other definitions for raita that I've seen before include "Indian side-dish of yogurt and cucumber" , "dish in Indian restaurant" , "Indian side dish of yogurt and chopped cucumber" , "Indian food good as side-dish" , "Something with yoghurt" .)
