Ingredients For Making Popcorn
• 3 tbsp Vegetable oil OR 2 tbsp Butter/ Margarine
• 1 cup Popcorn kernels
• ½ tsp Salt or 2 tbsp Sugar

Directions For Making Popcorn
• The first step is to choose the type of fat you want to use. You could either use cooking oil, margarine or butter which is the most preferable.

• Using butter gives it a wonderful flavor. You could add this before and after popping. Place the fat you intend using in the pot and let it melt.

• Pour the vegetable oil or melted fat into the pot and add about 3 kernels into it. Cover the pot and place on the stove burner.

• Cook over medium heat until the 3 kernels pop. Remove the popped kernels from the pot and add the salt or sugar and the rest of the corn kernels.

• Place the pot back on the burner on medium heat making sure the pot is properly covered. Not only does this ensure you don't burn the popcorn, it also ensures all of the kernels pop.

• Cook while shaking the pot occasionally until the popping in the pot slows down. Take the lid off the pot to let the steam out and keep the popcorn crisp.

• There you have it, your yummy popcorn is ready. Serve your guguru with roasted groundnut.
