Curry Spice Popcorn
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil + 1/2 cup unpopped popcorn
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 to 2 cloves garlic, cut into slivers
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pour olive oil in heavy Dutch oven or large pot, heat over medium heat. Sprinkle popcorn evenly over oil. Cover loosely to allow steam to escape. Allow corn to pop until popping slows to 1 to 2 seconds between pops. Remove from heat; let stand 10 to 15 seconds to allow popping to stop. Season with salt, if desired. Pour onto parchment paper or clean paper bag to cool or serve immediately.
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil and garlic in small saucepan over medium heat until garlic is light golden; do not brown. Remove from heat; remove and discard garlic.
Blend in curry powder, cumin and salt. Stir or whisk until spices are dissolved. Set aside.
Pour seasoning mixture over popcorn while tossing or stirring to coat evenly. Season with additional salt if desired. Serve and enjoy!
