- Keep the flame in medium.
- Once you hear the popcorn pops up, bring the flame to low.
- It will take 5-8 minutes for the entire corn to pop up.

- Once the sugar melts, do not disturb, it will change color and turn into amber colour.
- The syrup will get thickened and gets a golden colour.
- Add the vanilla essence to this.
- I used raw sugar, you can use white sugar too.
- Now we will add the popcorn.

- Transfer it a plate.
- Once this is completely cool, using your hands separate the pop corns.
