We can't go out to watch movies but we can always recreate theatre-like experience at home. With all old and new movies being shown on online streaming apps, we just need our comfy couch and a big bowl of popcorn. You can make popcorns from scratch with corns, or buy pre-mixed instant popcorn packs from the market. But, if you are out of both, we have a solution for this corny situation. Make aloo popcorns, because potatoes are always there in our kitchen.
Aloo popcorns may not be puffy and airy-like corn popcorns, but they'll give you the same bite-sized crunchy snacking experience. You can just fill your bowl with them and keep popping them in your mouth. Even if you'll be totally engrossed in your movie, you won't be able to ignore the deliciousness of this snack. Now, making aloo popcorns may require some time and effort but you wouldn't regret doing it once you'll taste these yummy munchies.
