Where to find ingredients
You can find popcorn kernels and granulated sugar in the dry goods section of any local grocery store or supermarket (often branded as 'kirana' stores for smaller quantities). Vegetable oil is readily available in the cooking oils aisle. Ensure you use high-quality, unflavored corn kernels for the best results.
Preparation method
- In a large heavy-bottomed pot or popcorn maker, combine the popcorn kernels, oil, granulated sugar, and water.
- Place the pot over medium heat.
- Stir the mixture continuously and thoroughly, ensuring that every kernel is coated in the syrup and exposed to the heat.
- Maintain constant stirring until the popping sound of the kernels subsides.
- Once the popping stops, immediately remove the pot from the heat to prevent the sugar from burning.
- Spread the popcorn onto a cool, flat surface and let it rest until it cools down and reaches a crunchy texture.
