For this month’s Secret Recipe Club assignment, I was assigned the blog, Daily Dish Recipes. Nicole is a mother of 5 teenagers (my hat’s off to her) who has been a food writer since 2003.
I decided to make Curry Movie Popcorn, which she made for another SRC assignment. I found lots of wonderful recipes on her blog, but somehow I couldn’t get my mind off of that popcorn!
I took her advice and opted to add the spices to the pan prior to cooking the popcorn vs. pouring the melted oil and spice over the popped corn (which is the method she originally tried and didn’t like)…it worked like a charm!
While I generally stay away from oil, the coconut oil adds such a nice flavor and compliments the curry spice. I did however eliminate the butter from the recipe because it wasn’t necessary.
This was so easy and quick. I am already coming-up with other flavor combos…anyone want some spicy chipotle popcorn???
INGREDIENTS
3 tablespoons butter(I omitted)- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons curry powder (I used 1 tsp Curry Powder & 1 tsp Garam Masala)
- 1/2 tsp Celtic Salt
- 1/2 cup (75 g.) popping corn
METHOD
Melt the coconut oil in a pan (make sure it is large enough for the popped corn). Whisk in the salt, curry powder, and Garam Masala.
Add the popping corn and pop while shaking the pan to avoid burning.
Serve immediately.
I had so much fun exploring your blog this month. So many interesting recipes and so much good information. It was an honor. Love your blog. I had a hard time choosing what to make but ended up making the energy bars and have been having them all week :).
Love both popcorn and curry, this recipe is a keeper and I love the idea of adding the spices to the cooking oil, brill!
This is one of my favorite recipes, I’m so glad you picked it. The blog I got it from originally has a ton of amazing curry flavored items … love it!
You did a great job and your photos are fun! I love the popcorn bowl!!
What a great variation of a flavored popcorn!!!
This looks so tasty! I love popcorn, and so much fun to add cool flavors – yum!
I am always looking for ways to spice up my popcorn. I’ve tried dill and black pepper, but I’m really going to have to try this curry version. I love curry! (Sweet as Sugar Cookies)
I love any flavored popcorn. I often toss chipolte hot sauce on mine just before eating!
Curry flavored popcorn. How tasty.
The original recipe came from my blog. Glad too see this recipe has at least three lives to It. 🙂
