Caramel Popcorn
Cooking Time : 15 mins
Serves : 6 to 8
Popcorn Kernels - ½ cup
Oil - 2 tblspn
For Seasoning:
Butter - 4 tblspn
Chilli Powder - ½ tsp
Cinnamon Powder - 1 tsp
Turmeric Powder - 1 tsp
Dry Ginger Powder - 1 tsp
Cumin Powder - 1 tsp
Salt - 1.5 tsp
Sugar - 2 tblspn
Method:
Start by making popcorn. Take a heavy bottom pan with lid. Heat oil in it, add few kernels in and cover with a lid, heat it and allow the popcorn to pop. Once it pops you know the oil is ready. Now remove the poped corn and add the remaining corn all at once. Immediately close the lid and shake it lightly.
Now let it heat and cook till the corns start popping. Inbetween keep shaking the pan, and gently open the lid a little so the steam can escape and you dont end up with soggy popcorn.
Once the popping subsides you can take it off the heat and set aside to cool.
Now melt some butter and add it all the spice powder, salt and sugar. Mix well.
Now pour this over popcorn and toss gently.
