Ingredients
- 1/2 cup organic popcorn kernels
- 1.5 tbsp coconut oil or ghee
- A pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup powdered jaggery
- 1 tsp ghee (for jaggery coating)
Instructions
- Heat oil/ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan on medium flame.
- Drop in 2–3 kernels to check the heat. Once they pop, add the remaining popcorn kernels.
- Cover the lid slightly ajar for steam to escape, and gently shake the pan every few seconds.
- When popping slows down (2–3 seconds between pops), switch off the flame.
- Transfer the popcorn to a large bowl and divide it into two equal portions.
- For the salted version, sprinkle a pinch of salt over one portion. Toss gently to coat. (Optional: add turmeric or jeera powder.)
- For the sweet version, in a small pan, heat 1 tsp ghee and add 1/4 cup jaggery powder with a spoon of water.
- Stir on low flame until it melts into a sticky syrup.
- Pour this syrup over the second portion of popcorn and mix quickly with a spoon to coat well. Let it cool slightly for a light crunch.
