Instructions
- In a large pot with a tight-fitting lid, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

- Drizzle the spice mixture evenly over the popped popcorn, and toss gently to ensure every piece is coated with the flavorful blend.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your aromatic Masala Spiced Popcorn!
Tips

- Experiment with other spices like cumin or smoked paprika for a unique twist.
- Make it a complete snack by serving with a side of yogurt dip for a cooling contrast to the spices!
