BBQ Popcorn Recipe - How To Make Barbeque Popcorn At Home - Indian Culinary League - Varun Inamdar

Hey guys , this is Veranda and welcome to get carried .

Well today before going ahead , let me take this very quick opportunity to thank all of you for the amazing response for the Indian Culinary League .

Well , on that note , welcome to Indian Culinary League to make your IPL nights exciting .

Let me show you barbecue popcorns for popcorns .

Of course , the first thing and the most important thing that you need are corn kernels .

Well , these are dehydrated corn kernels , which have been a gift from Mexico to the entire world .

Well , abroad , you get a lot of different varieties of corn kernels .

Unfortunately , in India , you just get one variety put that to use .

Well , the first thing on that note is making the popcorn as basic , as simple as one teaspoon of oil in an extremely hot pan , allow this to heat on high flame , make sure the oil is dispersed on the entire bottom of the pan , just smear it lightly like so and allow this to heat nice and almost a smoking wine .

Well , I do not know how many of you are actually aware of the principle of a popping con .

Well , this corn kernel , the exterior is known as a hull .

The inside has around 15 to 20% of moisture , which expands .

Of course , the principle of science , it expands on heating , let pop a few in oil just to check the heat of the oil .

Well , here , if you've noticed , we already have a few corn kernels that have popped and that is popcorn .

Let's remove this and transfer all of this into this hot oil .

Well , you need to do a little at a time because this is going to multiply almost 20 times .

So be careful , do not get adventurous and do a lot of it together because that may really cost you well to this .

Let's add in just a little salt , not too much because we are also going to use salted butter later .

Well , all you need to do now is give this a quick stir and allow the entire exterior to kind of heat up so that the heat travels straight within .

But after 30 to 40 seconds of stirring it like .

So we need to build up pressure .

So we're covering this with a lid on high flame .

And next , you will realize in the next 15 seconds , the corn will start popping .

Well , in the next 15 seconds , you'll have to start shaking the pan like so because you want the heat to be well transferred onto all the corn kernels , you will hear this amazing popping sound and that is nothing but the con turning into popcorn .

Well , do not get adventurous and open the lid at this point in time .

Otherwise , the next few hours will get into cleaning your kitchen with a flying popcorn out of the pan .

So a few more jiggles like so , and suddenly you'll realize that the sound has stopped at this point .

Of course , the flame and let's open the lid .

Be careful .

You'll still have a few flying off , but that's fine .

So here you have popcorn .

Well , the next thing is to cool this down completely .

And for that , we need to transfer this in a glass .

Fum .

Popcorn is ready .

Let's take it to level two and flavor it .

The flavor as promised is barbecue .

So let's turn the flame on and to this , I'm adding in some white sugar .

Well , you could also use brown sugar .

Try yours .

Let's spread this across the base of the pan and allow this to caramelize to a beautiful golden brown color .

Well , there are two different types of caramels in the world .

The first one is a dry caramel and the other one is a wet caramel .

What we are making is a dry caramel .

The wet caramel , of course , has a little bit of water .

We do not want the corn to get soggy and that's the reason why I'm making dry caramel .

Let's swirl the sugar in the pan like so ensure that it doesn't burn in spots .

You do not need a dark colored caramel because eventually the color and the flavor is barbecue for that .

I'm gonna use barbecue sauce .

Now that all of the sugar has melted and turned to a beautiful golden brown color .

Let's lower the flame and add in barbecue sauce .

Be very careful and slide it from one side .

Do not just throw it in the pan because it may eventually fly back at you .

Let's give that a stir And to this add in a teaspoon of butter .

Let's give this a quick start .

And to this , I'm just gonna increase the spice portion a little .

And for that , I'm gonna add in chili powder .

You can avoid this completely or you can use scan or paprika .

I leave that to you and finally some roasted cumin powder , you may choose to add some additional salt .

But remember the fact that there's salt here in both the recipes , we use salt while popping the corn .

We also have salt in the barbecue sauce and the butter .

The next step of course is adding the popped corn into the sauce .

At this stage .

You need to be extremely quick because you do not want the corn to be lying in for a long time .

You do not want it to turn soggy .

You can turn the flame off , you can take an additional spatula or a spoon and just toss it lightly like .

So the next step of course is to mix this nicely quickly do not take a lot of time and this next goes on a tray .

You can also use a butter paper or a baking sheet .

The idea here is to cool this down completely and quickly the barbecue popcorn is kind of warm now manageable .

You can do this with your fingers with this .

You have your amazing , quick and easy barbecue popcorns ready in just a few minutes .

I sincerely hope you enjoy making barbecue popcorns at home .

As much as I do .
