Ingredients:
corn - 1/4 cupbutter or oil - 2 tbsp (or) lesser
salt - 1 tsp (according to need)
(control the salt if using salted butter)
Turmeric - 1 tsp (optional)
A heavy bottom vessel with a tight lid.
A mitten to hold.
Method:
Melt the butter in the vessel. Mix turmeric, salt and corn with the butter.Place the lid and start heating. Wait till we hear A SINGLE popping sound.
Immediately switch off and let it rest for a minute.
Again start heating (with lid closed). Hold the pot and start shaking as it starts popping. Do this in medium heat and shaking gently till the sound stops.
Homemade Popcorn is ready!
Tips:
*Adding some sugar (2 tbsp) instead of turmeric will yield a kettle corn taste.*I have not tried with red chilly pepper powder, but have heard it also tastes great. But beware of the hot fumes, while using peppers.
*Always use an unwanted vessel, as it may be hard to clean, if got burned.
* We can make it with very less butter also.
*Don't open the vessel while popping.
Enjoy this homemade popcorn with your loved ones.

delicious popcorn viki :)
Interesting!! Thanks!!
hi viki...
sounds great...:) I've been making popcorn all these days with the store bought ones in microwave... never knew its so simple...
a doubt... this is the first time I'm hearing it... by corn do u mean fresh corn kernels? and if so can sweet corn kernels be used...?
Meera: Thanks dear. So far I have used the dried corn kernels, which I buy from local grocery store. I have heard that the Indian corn, multi colored American Indian corn works fine. They can be found near the microwave popcorn packs. I am not sure of the sweet corn kernel. I think it is not possible, as sweet corn is a soft corn while the popping corn is not edible easily.
Thank u for clarifying my doubt...:) You are so sweet viki.... Will try it and let u know soon...:)
