Same day I made popcorn 3 times. First time I made too less, so kept it as a plain salted one. Second time I was not happy with the result I got. I had few corn kernels without popping in the bottom. Usually I get only one or two, so I thought I will try for one last time. I doubted my vessel too, as last time I used my stainless steel cooking pot, this time it was my new Le Creuset. Finally I made in my stainless steel cooking pot itself and got it right.

This time also I could have made one step differently. But thought I would stop. Instead of adding the masala powder to the hot vessel itself, transfer to another bowl and then sprinkle the masala powder. This way, we can prevent the burnt masala powder that reaches bottom. Nevertheless, it was only a little, so I thought I will go ahead and Will include the point in post.

Notes

To avoid burnt kernels, switch off flame once the popping reduces.

Do not heat oil and kernels together.

If the quality of the kernels are not good, it may not be popping well.

When hot, it may seem to be slightly soft, but as cools down, it turns crisp.
