cancha

Where it comes from

Borrowed from Spanish cancha, borrowed from Quechua kamcha (“toasted maize”).

noun canchas

countable, uncountable A toasted grain or grains of corn, a traditional snack in Peru. Partially open the lid away from you, like a shield, so the cancha doesn't pop into your face. Be very careful, as the oil is very hot and the kernels can pop out of the pan. Most of the kernels should be dark golden brown.
