Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Popcorn kernels
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Curry powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a lid over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and a few popcorn kernels to the pot as a test.
Once the test kernels pop, remove them from the pot and add the remaining popcorn kernels in an even layer. Cover the pot with the lid.
Shake the pot gently every few seconds to ensure the kernels pop evenly and prevent burning. Continue until the popping slows to about 1 pop every 2-3 seconds.
Remove the pot from heat and immediately pour the popcorn into a large mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, salt, and black pepper (if using) until well combined.
Drizzle the spiced butter mixture over the popcorn, tossing gently to coat all the kernels evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or curry powder, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
