Best Golden Curry Popcorn Recipes

COCONUT CURRY POPCORN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spread the shredded coconut in a rimmed baking sheet and bake, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and toasted, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan and add the mustard seeds, coriander, paprika, turmeric, garlic powder, ginger and onion powder. Cook until the butter becomes fragrant and the spices are no longer raw, about 1 minute. Turn off the heat.
• Preheat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat until the oil shimmers. Add the popcorn kernels and stir to evenly coat, then cover the pot. Cook, shaking the pot occasionally, until the popping subsides, about 5 minutes.
• Pour the popcorn into a large bowl, drizzle with the spiced butter and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Add the toasted coconut and toss until all the components are evenly dispersed. Serve warm.

SPANISH CHICKPEA POPCORN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Toss the chickpeas with the olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 30 minutes.
• Melt the butter with the smoked paprika in a small saucepan. Toss the popcorn and roasted chickpeas in a large bowl; drizzle with the paprika butter, season with salt and toss again.

PARMESAN POPCORN OR CURRY POPCORN

Steps:

• Lightly spray popcorn with olive oil spray. Sprinkle in cheese or curry powder and toss well.

GARLIC RAMEN POPCORN

Steps:

• Add the popcorn and scallions to large bowl. Combine the butter, ramen seasoning and garlic in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook until the butter is melted and the garlic is golden but not brown. Pour over the popcorn and toss well.

SPICY CURRY POPCORN

Steps:

• Pop the popcorn, following manufacturer instructions for your particular popper. We have an old-fashioned style popper that takes two tablespoons oil. I use coconut oil which I account for in the recipe. You can also pop it in a large pot over the stove. If you use an air-popper, you won't use the oil.
• While the popcorn pops, set a small saucepan set over medium heat. Add the butter, brown sugar, spices, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir until combined. Bring just to a boil and remove from heat. Note: if your particular popping method or popper requires close supervision, save this step until after your popcorn is popped.
• Transfer popcorn to a large bowl. Drizzle butter and spice mixture over popcorn, pausing to toss occasionally, until the popcorn is coated. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes, then serve.

GOLDEN BUTTER POPCORN CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare the cake batter as directed, substituting corn liquid for the water in the mix. Linetwo 12-cup muffin pans with paper liners. Divide the batter between the pans, filling each cup two-thirds of the way. Bake as directed; let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, put the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring, until smooth. Pour over the popcorn in a large bowl; toss to coat, then refrigerate until set, about10 minutes. Remove about 2 cups of the white chocolate popcorn and crush.
• Beat the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar in a bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Fold in the crushed popcorn.
• Frost each cupcake with 3 tablespoons of the popcorn whipped cream. Top with the remaining white chocolate popcorn.

SPICED POPCORN

Steps:

• Pop the kernels according to package directions and transfer to a large serving bowl.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Mix in the remaining ingredients until well combined. Pour the spiced butter over the popcorn and toss until evenly coated. Serve.
