Servings: 2
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 2 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- ½ cup popping corn
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt, as required
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Melt Coconut Oil: In a large pan, melt the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Make sure the pan has a tight-fitting lid ready.
- Add Popcorn: Add the popping corn to the melted coconut oil and quickly stir to coat the kernels evenly with the oil. Then, cover the pan tightly with the lid.
- Pop the Corn: Continue cooking, shaking the pan occasionally, for about 1-2 minutes or until you hear the corn kernels start to pop. Keep the lid on to avoid any popping corn escaping.
- Transfer to Bowl: As soon as the popping slows down, remove the pan from the heat. Carefully transfer the freshly popped corn into a large heatproof bowl.
- Season with Spices: While the popcorn is still hot, drizzle it with olive oil and sprinkle ground turmeric, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt evenly over the top. Toss the popcorn well to ensure the spices and oil coat every piece.
- Serve Immediately: Your Turmeric Spiced Popcorn is now ready to be enjoyed. Serve it as a snack for movie night, a party, or whenever you’re in need of a quick and flavorful treat.
TIPS FOR PERFECT TURMERIC SPICED POPCORN:
Here are some essential tips to ensure your Turmeric Spiced Popcorn turns out perfectly every time:
- Use a Large Pan: Make sure to use a large, deep pan with a lid to prevent the popcorn from overflowing as it pops.
- Even Heating: Heat the coconut oil evenly to ensure that all the popcorn kernels pop at the same time.
- Keep the Lid On: It’s crucial to keep the pan tightly covered while the popcorn is popping. This traps the heat and allows the kernels to pop fully.
- Shake the Pan: While the popcorn is popping, give the pan an occasional shake to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- Quick Mixing: As soon as you remove the popcorn from the heat, mix in the spices and olive oil while it’s still hot. This helps the flavors adhere to the popcorn.
