Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Popcorn kernels
  • 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp Chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp Cumin
  • 1/4 tsp Salt

Instructions

  1. 1Place a large heavy-bottomed pot on the stove over medium heat. Add the 1 tbsp of vegetable oil to the pot.
  2. 2Once the oil is shimmering, add the 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels to the pot. Immediately cover the pot with a lid.
  3. 3Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the popping sound slows to about 2-3 seconds between pops. Gently shake the pot back and forth over the heat every minute to prevent the kernels from burning.
  4. 4Carefully remove the pot from the heat. Pour all the popped popcorn into a large bowl.
  5. 5Sprinkle the 1/2 tsp of turmeric, 1/4 tsp of chili powder, 1/4 tsp of cumin, and 1/4 tsp of salt over the popcorn. Toss everything together gently until the popcorn is evenly coated with the spices.
  6. 6Serve the Kenyan-Spiced Popcorn immediately.
