SEXY POPCORN? YEP. THAT’S A THING WHEN YOU BRING ON THE SPICE!
That may not be the word you use to describe your popcorn until you hit it with some of our spices. Our blends, especially chaat, garam, sambhar, and rasam, are absolutely perfect sprinkled over popcorn. It’s especially delicious when you pop the kernels in coconut oil or ghee.
You could say freshly popped popcorn is in my flavor DNA. Growing up visiting India, it was always fun witnessing vendors popping corn kernels on the street corners. I loved everything from the smell of coals burning, the noise of kernels bursting, and the heat from the bag of freshly popped corn in the palm of my small hands. As my girls grew up, I tried to give them the same food memories. About 20 minutes before school pickup, I’d pull out my twenty-year-old heavy pan and pop a huge bowl of popcorn. It would sit in the passenger seat waiting for the girls to pile into the back, flushed and starving after a long day in school. Their little hands would eagerly grab the bowl and devour it all the way home. There is nothing like watching your kids love the food you make for them.
Making it yourself means no harmful additives, and our spices are clean, dye-free, and delicious. For a perfect portion-controlled snack for yourself, only pop 2 tablespoons of kernels at a time. Zero need for a microwave — ever.
Heat a roomy and heavy pot over medium-high heat. Once warm, add the coconut oil or ghee.
Once melted, add the popcorn kernels. Place a lid on the pot. I prefer a clear lid so I can watch the magic happen. In just a few minutes, all of your popcorn will pop. Once the popping stops, turn the heat off.
Sprinkle with salt and spices if using. Enjoy. Want cheesy popcorn? Add in a sprinkle of nutritional yeast. It can be added at the end or in the beginning in the oil so that the kernels are coated with it.
