Garlicky Sorghum Popcorn - Sorghum Popcorn/Jowar Dhani spiced up with basic spices and lot of crunchy garlic, peanuts and papad.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 7 oz Sorghum Popcorn jowar dhani available at Indian grocery stores
- ¼ cup Peanut Oil or any other oil
- 10 Curry Leaves
- ½ cup Raw Peanuts
- ¼ cup Minced Garlic
- ⅓ cup Roasted Split Chickpea dalia
- 6 Roasted Papad
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
- ½ tsp Red Chili Powder more for extra spicy
- 1 tsp Powdered Sugar this is optional, I prefer not adding it while my mother like to add!
Instructions
- Saute raw peanuts in oil inside heavy bottom wide pan.
- Once peanuts are ¾th way done, add minced garlic and saute it on low heat until golden brown. Take your time with this step so garlic gets crunchy without getting too brown or burn.
- Add roasted split chickpeas (dalia) and curry leaves. Mix and saute for another minute on a low heat.
- Mix in salt, turmeric powder and red chili powder. Mix quickly while keeping the heat low.
- Immediately add Sorghum Popcorn/jowar dhani. Mix well. Keep roasting on low heat while tossing frequently until the popcorn is not sticking to your teeth while chewing. That is an indication of well roasted dhani/popcorn.
- Turn the heat off, crumble roasted papad and powdered sugar (if using any). Mix well to spiced up Sorghum Popcorn. Enjoy it with cup of chai! It can be stored in airtight container at room temperature upto 2 weeks!
