Popcorn | Street Food India | Indian Food.

Popcorn is also known as popping corn. It is a type of corn that expands from the kernel and puffs up when heated. Popcorn is able to pop because, like amaranth grain, sorghum, quinoa and millet, its kernels have a hard moisture-sealed hull and dense starchy innards. When heated, pressure builds within the kernel, and a small explosion (or “pop”) is the end result. Some strains of corn are now cultivated specifically as popping corns. Popcorn is a popular street food item that is available at every corner of India, especially in front of all movie theatres.
