Caramel Popcorn

Ingredients:

1/4 cup corn kernels

1 tbsp oil

1/3 cup sugar

1/4 tsp vanilla essence

2 tsp butter

1/8 cup water

Prepare the popcorn with the corn kernels in a cooker or a large thick bottomed vessel
Take a saucepan, add sugar and water. Add butter. Let it melt and boil. It will become frothy and slightly change colour. Do not mix, do not use a spoon. Just swirl the pan and cook on low flame.
Now, add vanilla essence. The colour will change from light shade to dark colour.
When it forms a thick sauce and is dark golden in colour switch off and immediately add it to popcorn. Do not burn.
Mix it, it will form thick threads, don't worry keep mixing. It will be sticky, transfer onto a foil or a parchment paper and allow it to cool for 5 mins then separate the chunks. Serve warm
