Curried Salt Popcorn

Sharon123's Note:

It's fun to try new ways to eat popcorn! This has curry and salt with a little turmeric. Be adventurous! Adpated from Rachael Ray's Big Orange cookbook.

• Total Time: 13 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 8 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 2 quarts ...

• ½ cup popcorn
• ¼ cup vegetable oil (I like olive oil or corn oil)
• 2 tablespoons hot melted butter
• 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
• 1 tablespoon mild curry powder (or if you prefer, use hot curry powder)
• 1 -2 teaspoon salt , to taste

Directions:

1. Combine the popcorn and the oil in a large kettle or pot with a tight fitting lid and place over medium high heat.
2. When the corn begins to pop, shake the pot constantly. When the popping slows, remove the pot from the heat and pour the butter over the top. Combine the spices and toss with the popped corn. Enjoy!

I enjoyed this. It's unusual by tasty. I cheated a bit and used microwave popcorn but everything else was prepared as directed. Made for ZWT6

I must admit I used microwave popcorn. But the turmeric and curry powder was wonderful on the popcorn. I think I may add it to it from now on. It gave it a distinctive taste! Made for Sharon123 Cookathon 2010.

I love the curry spiciness in this! I used homemade curry powder. This is a really nice change. Thanks for posting!
