POPCORN

I think Popcorn are the favorite and most adored munchies of almost all people in the world.  Such a light snack  which is very low in calories and rich in fibre.  We all love this fantastic snack which we can have at any time.  My children die for these crunchy and tasty popcorn.  They love it to have with different seasonings.  Making popcorn is not a magic.  We can make it in our kitchen with 3 simple steps.  Buy popping corns.  Heat oil. Add popping corns and wait to pop.  Mouth-watering, sizzling popcorn are ready.  Isn't it an easy job?  Come on lets make our delicious popcorn.

What we need

Popping corn - 100 gm

(You can buy this from the super markets)

Any refined oil – 4 tbsp

Method

Take a thick bottomed vessel with tight lid.  Or you can use pressure cooker.  Heat the vessel and add 2 tbsp oil. Wait until hot. (2 tbsp oil is enough for 50 gm of popping corns.  You have to spread popping corns evenly in a single layer at the bottom of the vessel that you have taken. Use the oil depending upon the vessel you have taken.)  Then add enough popping corn to cover the bottom of the pan in a single layer.

Do not put the lid.  On a high flame cook until corns start to pop.  When it starts to pop, put lid and cook on high flame. Shake the pan roundly in between.  It will take almost 2-3 minutes to pop up all the corn.  Or you can stop the fire when popping stops.  Don’t forget to shake the vessel.  Open the lid and sprinkle some seasonings that you like and have at once.

For seasoning

Red chilly seasoning 

Butter – 1 tbsp

Salt – to taste

Red chilly powder – ½ tsp

Heat a pan and add butter to it and allow melting.  Add salt, chilly powder and popcorn.  Toss well.  Red chilly popcorn is ready.  Make a corn with paper and have it at once.

Instead of red chilly you can use pepper powder.  Or simply butter and salt.  Or butter and chat masala.  You can make it healthier by adding chopped fresh vegetables, leaves and lemon juice.  That is all your choice.
