Recipe: Curried Popcorn

posted by Mighty Staff

From the archives. We've talked before about the powerful, health promoting properties of spices. This is a favorite spice-centric snack that comes together in just a few minutes. The jist: top a fresh batch of freshly popped popcorn with a turmeric-rich curry powder-infused butter.

Curried Popcorn
Shopping note: Choose a curry powder that is deep yellow, or deep yellow orange in color (that’s the turmeric).

1 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 cup unsalted butter
Plenty of freshly popped corn
add-ins like cashews or raisins (optional), chopped

Pop a big bowl of popcorn and set aside. Add any extras at this point (nuts, dried fruits)

To make the curry-infused butter add the curry powder to a saucepan of melted butter along with a couple pinches of sea salt. Toss the popcorn with a drizzle of the butter. If you want more control over the amount of butter you are applying to your popcorn, fill a small spray bottle with the curried butter and spritz and toss, spritz and toss until the popcorn is coated to your liking.

Taste for seasoning and mix in more salt if needed.
