Ingredients
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons butter (or coconut oil for a vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon curry powder (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
Directions
1. Pop the Corn
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add a few popcorn kernels to test the oil’s temperature. Once they pop, add the rest of the kernels, cover the pot with a lid, and shake gently as the popcorn pops. When the popping slows to a few seconds between pops, remove from heat.
2. Make the Spice Blend
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Stir in the curry powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
3. Season the Popcorn
Transfer the freshly popped popcorn to a large bowl. Drizzle the curry spice butter over the popcorn, tossing to coat evenly. Add more salt to taste if needed.
4. Serve and Enjoy
Serve immediately for the crispiest texture, and watch this snack disappear as quickly as it was made!
