1 cup vegetable oil
4 cups granulated sugar
2 1/2 cups water
1 cup vegetable oil
4 cups granulated sugar
2 1/2 cups water
Where to find ingredients
You can find high-quality popcorn kernels and standard vegetable oil in the grain and pulses aisle of any local grocery store or 'kirana' shop. For granulated sugar, any standard variety available in the baking section will work perfectly.
Preparation method
- In a large heavy-bottomed pot or a dedicated popcorn maker, combine the popcorn kernels, oil, granulated sugar, and water.
- Place the pot over medium heat.
- Stir the mixture continuously, ensuring all the kernels are well-coated in the syrup and exposed to the heat evenly.
- Continue stirring steadily as the popcorn kernels begin to pop.
- As soon as the popping slows down significantly, remove the pot from the heat immediately to prevent the sugar from burning.
- Spread the sweet popcorn onto a cold surface or a large baking tray and let it sit until completely cool to achieve maximum crunch.
