Popcorn

Ingredients:

Popping Corns (Dry Makka Cholam / Popcorn Cholam) – 100 gms / 2 handful
Salt – 2 tsp (adjust according to your taste)
Chilli Powder – 2 tsp (adjust according to your taste)
Turmeric Powder – 1 tsp
Chat Masala – ½ tsp (optional)
Cooking Oil – 5 tbsp

Cooking Instructions:





Heat oil in a deep and a wide pan. Add enough corns according to the size of the pan because the corn fills a lot of place in the pan when it pops out. When the oil starts to smoke, add corns to it and stir fry it. Add salt, turmeric powder, chilli powder and chat masala and stir fry it well. When the corn starts to pop out, you close the pan with a lid and simmer the flame. When you stop hearing the sound of corns popping out, switch off the flame and transfer it to a bowl and serve it.

Event for the Month of September and the Theme is Chicken

I thank all my blogger friends first of all, who wished for my son Amiitesh's birthday and he enjoyed a lot on that day with all my relatives and particularly during the function time. Amiitesh got up by 5.15am itself on that day and went to bed only by 11pm and he don't want to miss to play with his grand parents and uncles. He was very eager to cut the cake from the time we received it from the bakery. He looked so smart on that day and we had a blast of happiness. He was more eager to see the gift packs he received for his birthday and started playing with them immediately as soon as we unpack the gifts. And thank you all again who showered my son with their blessings.
