By Somdutta Mazumder

Updated - April 7, 2021 4 min read

On top of being a beloved snack devoured and relished by most folks, popcorn has also been a healthy hunger saviour for a lot of us. During the wee hours of the night, when pangs of hunger strike you unexpectedly, a packet of instant microwave popcorn can serve you what you need in under 5 minutes. Not to mention, the countless movies made more magical by the mere presence of popcorn and bubbly soda. Lathered in butter, sprinkled with pepper or coated in Caramel, the white puffy snack is always a crowd-pleaser, and for great reason! 

 

In fact, we love popcorn so much, we wanted to turn it into other snacks, equally worth loving and finding delight in. Of course, the ease and convenience of using instant popcorn as a chief ingredient certainly helped the cause further. So, after much research (read: incessant Google searches) we have with us a list of 6 mouthwatering snacks, you can dish together in a jiffy with a packet of popcorn! 

 

1. Popcorn Bhel 

Who doesn't love the tangy, tasty, and uniquely Indian snack of bhel? Now imagine recreating that bhel chaat you can wolf down in under 5 minutes, with an added twist of popcorn kernels. Perfect as a savoury evening tit-bit to treat yourself to after the long hours of work from home, this popcorn bhel recipe is full of flavour and made with just a few basic ingredients. We closely followed this Youtube video recipe tutorial by Sanjeev Kapoor Khazana to whip up our own bowl!

A constant craving for a lot of us, Nutella is 3 parts hazelnut cocoa and 1 part unadulterated love!
