Spicy Caramel Popcorn

I love watching cooking shows, though i try only those recipes that are actually different and experimental. I happened to watch a show called Raviner's Kitchen on TLC. She made this Spicy Caramel Popcorn and I loved it. I knew it that I had to make it. And it was tasty. It gives a new twist by just adding new flavors to the regular popcorn. Perfect munching snacks on weekends. So here's the recipe... Happy Cooking...




Ingredients:

Popcorn seeds - 3 tbsp
Red chilli flakes - 1 tsp
Salt - a pinch
Jaggery powder- 3 tbsp(heaped)
Oil - 1 tsp
Water - 1 tbsp(or more as required)

Method:



Heat a heavy bottom vessel or can use a cooker like I did and add oil. Once the oil is hot add an pop corn seeds and close the cooker with lid upside down.


Shake the cooker from time to time and once the popping stops, transfer it into a bowl. Keep aside.



Add water to jaggery powder and heat it lightly so that it melts. In a heavy bottom vessel, add this jaggery water, pinch of salt and red chilli flakes and cook till the mixture thickens a little.



Place the popcorns on a plate and pour this jaggery mixture over the popcorns and make sure it is coated with the mixture properly.
