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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Remove the pot from heat and immediately pour the popcorn into a large mixing bowl.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Drizzle the spiced butter mixture over the popcorn, tossing gently to coat all the kernels evenly.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or curry powder, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
