Holiday Masala Popcorn
A perfect snack to make in big batches and gift to loved ones!
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 1/2 tbsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tbsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1/4 tsp mustard seeds
- 1/4 tsp cumin seeds
- 2-3 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Pop your kernels in a popcorn maker or on the stove.
- Add the turmeric, cayenne, and salt per taste directly to the popcorn once it's popped, and roughly mix.
- In a large & sturdy pot, add the oil and turn heat on medium.
- Once oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds.
- When they stop sizzling, turn heat to low and add in your popcorn.
- Starting mixing it as soon as the popcorn is added so that none of the spices burn on the bottom of the pan. Keep mixing for at least 5 minutes until all of the popcorn is nice and coated by the spices.
- After 5 minutes are up, add in the butter, and black pepper per taste.
- Turn heat back up to medium so the popcorn gets crunchier and continue to mix until everything is coated in butter.
- Eat once it's done or cool completely before storing in a container!
Notes
- We like to make large batches of this, so try to double the recipe and store in a container! This is a perfect afternoon snack to munch on.
- This Holiday Masala Popcorn makes for a great gift! Pack individual little goodie bags and send them to your friends / family!
