• 1/2 cup Popcorn Kernels
• 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil
• 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon Cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon Sumac
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

1. 1Place a large, heavy-bottomed pot on the stove over medium heat. Add the 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and let it melt and heat up for about 1 minute.
2. 2Add the 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels to the pot with the hot coconut oil. Immediately cover the pot with a lid.
3. 3Cook the popcorn for about 3 to 5 minutes, listening carefully. When the popping sounds slow down to one pop every 2-3 seconds, it is time to remove the pot from the heat.
4. 4Carefully pour all the popped popcorn from the pot into a large bowl.
5. 5In a separate small bowl, combine the 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, 1/4 teaspoon of sumac, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
6. 6Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the popcorn in the large bowl. Toss the popcorn gently but thoroughly with your hands or a large spoon until all the kernels are coated with the spices.
7. 7Serve the Persian Spiced Popcorn immediately.
