  2. When ghee is melted and slightly foamy, add popcorn kernels.
  3. Place lid on pot, and gently swirl.
  4. When popcorn starts popping, melt additional butter in a small pan.
  5. When popcorn has slowed, and you hear less then three pops every two seconds, remove from heat (but leave in pan).
  6. When popping has completed fully, slowly pour popcorn into a large bowl.
  7. Add clarified butter by slowly drizzling it on to popcorn, then shake up popcorn and drizzle a little more on (so you get it spread out evenly).
