Notes
- Make sure you choose a pan which is wide/deep and some space to hold the hte popped corn.
- Make sure to use lid with vent. IF you do not have such a lid then close the lid partially leaving space for the vapour to escape.
- Make sure to first try popping out few corn kernels then add the rest.
- While cooking covered take care not to burn so adjust the flame accordingly.
- Cook covered as the kernels will pop outside the container otherwise.
- You can add any flavouring of your choice.
- If you want you can even add a pinch of pepper powder.
- Make sure to stir the kernels well so that is is evenly coated in oil.
