Canchita (Peruvian Popcorn)

Pour a thin film of oil in the bottom of the pot. Heat the oil over medium to medium-high heat, and pour in enough cancha to fill the bottom in one layer. Cover and cook until all the kernels have popped, about 7 minutes. Shake the pot during popping to evenly distribute the kernels and prevent burning. Strain the popped kernels and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and enjoy warm.
