Making popcorn from scratch can be tricky. Try in small amount and if you succeed, well and good so that next you move for a large quantity.... I tried making Popcorn in home... And believe me, all the kernels got emptied in 2 days time :P
Buy a bag of dry maize kernels. You can get this from most supermarkets nowadays, and it's easy to find at ethnic stores too. The bigger bag you buy, the more money you'll save in the long term.
Popcorn is good for health, it could help prevent cancer, research suggests. Scientists discovered the snack food contains 'surprisingly large' levels of health-boosting antioxidants called polyphenols. So why not make some popcorn in home :) Give a try!
Ingredients:
Dry maize kernels
Salted butter 5-6 tbsp (depends on your requirement)
Salt to taste if needed
Choice your flavor- Chat masala/chilli power:turmaric powder mix, Cheddar cheese [These are extra , which is added for flavoring of the popcorn]

- Take a clean and dry medium/big Pressure cooker. Add 5 tbsp salted butter, let it melt. If needed add to it 1/2 tbsp salt.
- Now add 1/3 cup of kernels into the cooker (about 2 small handfuls is usually about right) and turn the stove to medium heat.
- Put the lid on quickly. Shake the pressure cooker continuously while the new kernels pop, but be careful to not spill the hot melted butter.
- You will soon begin to hear the kernels popping and hitting the sides and lid of the pan. DO NOT TAKE OFF THE LID WHILST THE HEAT IS ON AND POPCORN IS POPPING. When the noise dies down to only 1 or 2 pops every few seconds, turn the heat off and remove the pan from the stove.
- Carefully take a peek under the lid. Your popcorn should be good and done, so take off the lid. You will smell the buttery aroma.
- If you want sweet popcorn, take sugar or Splenda and sprinkle it over the popcorn (still in the pan). Put the lid back on and give it a gentle shake. The oil should allow the sugar to stick well to the kernels.
- If you prefer cheddar flavoring (add cheddar cheese), do the same thing as you did with the sugar. You can also add chat masala or even sprinkle a mixture of Red chilli:Turmaric powder (1:1).
- Serve and ENJOY delicious home made popcorn....that toooo in wholesome amount... :P
