Ingredients

• - Urban Platter Sichuan Peppercorns
• 500 g Sugar
• 500 Ml Champion Oil
• - Red Chilli Powder

Instructions

1. 1. Gather all the ingredients: 100g popcorn kernels, 2 tbsp vegetable oil, 1 tsp Sichuan peppercorns, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar, 1/2 tsp chili powder (optional), and 1 tbsp melted butter or ghee.
2. 2. Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat and add the Sichuan peppercorns. Dry roast them for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then remove and set aside.
3. 3. In the same pan, add the vegetable oil and let it heat up for 1 minute. Test the oil by adding a couple of popcorn kernels; if they pop, the oil is ready.
4. 4. Add the remaining popcorn kernels to the pan in a single layer. Cover the pan with a lid, leaving a small gap to let steam escape.
5. 5. Shake the pan gently over the heat to ensure even cooking. Listen for the popping sounds; when the pops slow down to 2-3 seconds apart, remove the pan from the heat.
6. 6. Transfer the popped popcorn to a large mixing bowl and let it cool slightly.
7. 7. Grind the roasted Sichuan peppercorns into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder.
8. 8. In a small bowl, mix the ground Sichuan peppercorns, salt, sugar, and chili powder (if using).
9. 9. Drizzle the melted butter or ghee over the popcorn and toss gently to coat evenly.
10. 10. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the popcorn and toss again to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
11. 11. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
