Masala Spiced Popcorn

Ingredients

Vegetable oil

2 tablespoons

Popcorn kernels

1/2 cup

Salt

1 teaspoon (or to taste)

Cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon (adjust for spice level)

Turmeric

1/4 teaspoon

Garam masala

1 teaspoon

Instructions

1. In a large pot with a tight-fitting lid, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
2. Add the popcorn kernels to the pot and cover it. Shake the pot occasionally to ensure the kernels heat evenly.
3. Listen for the popping to slow down to about 2 seconds between pops. Once this happens, remove the pot from the heat and let it sit covered until the popping stops completely.
4. While waiting, in a small bowl, mix together the garam masala, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and salt until well combined.
5. Once the popcorn has finished popping, carefully uncover the pot and transfer the popcorn to a large bowl.
6. Drizzle the spice mixture evenly over the popped popcorn, and toss gently to ensure every piece is coated with the flavorful blend.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your aromatic Masala Spiced Popcorn!
