    Tips for making this Spicy Curry Turmeric Popcorn

    Making your own popcorn on the stovetop is easier than you think. All you need is a big pot, some oil, your favourite seasoning and a few simple tips to create this delicious snack:

    • Use a big heavy pot with a fitting lid to get the optimal result.

    • When heating the oil, put two popcorn kernels in first. Wait until they pop, and then put in all the other kernels. Then turn down the heat to medium.

    • Make sure the popcorn kernels don’t overlap and pop evenly.

    • Shake the pot frequently to make the popping process go smoothly.

    • Open the lid slightly from time to time to let out steam.

    Ingredients
      

    For the popcorn:

    • 100 g popcorn kernels (½ cup)
    • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

    For the seasoning:

    • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    • 1 teaspoon yellow curry powder mild
    • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
    • ¼ teaspoon cayenne powder (optional)
    • ½ teaspoon salt

    Instructions
     

    • Put the vegetable oil, curry, turmeric, cayenne and salt into a bowl. Stir with a spoon until the seasoning paste is well combined.
    • Heat the vegetable oil in a big pot on high heat and put in two popcorn kernels. Cover with a lid and wait until the kernels start to pop.
    • Turn down the heat to medium and put in the other popcorn kernels. Shake the pot with the lid on frequently when the popcorn kernels start to pop. Lift the lid occasionally to let out steam.
    • Turn off the heat when the popping starts to slow down to 2 to 3 seconds.
    • Remove the pot from heat and toss the popcorn into the bowl with the seasoning paste. Cover the bowl with a lid and shake it until the popcorn is mixed with the seasoning.
    • Serve the popcorn right away or keep it in an airtight container and store it for one week.

    Notes

    • Make sure the popcorn kernels don’t overlap, so they pop evenly.
    • Open the lid occasionally to let out steam to keep the popcorn crispy.
    • If you don't have a big bowl with a lid, you can mix the popcorn and the seasoning paste with a cooking spoon.
