Home Made Curry Popcorn

[FlyingRhenquest 1]

I've been on a popcorn groove lately. I often rediscover that something's good and then go overboard on it. Can't wait until tequila rolls back around. Anywhoo, I popped some popcorn up tonight with home made curry powder (red pepper flake, coriander, cumin, onion powder, cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon.) Kind of tastes like burning (too much red pepper flake) but it really works well and the whole house smells awesome!

I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

I'm assuming you used coconut oil in which to pop it? Sounds yummy!

Canola oil. I don't usually cook with coconut oil, though it would probably work well here.

Substituting the Green for the Tekillya?

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Nope. I bought a sampler pack from Riehle Farms in Indiana that ended up being something like 13 pounds of popcorn kernels. I pop it in a big thin wok I got a few years ago that turned out to be crap for stir frying. It's pretty good for popping popcorn, though. I just add a few teaspoons of canola oil and my kernels and then cover it with a lid from another pot I have handy. Once the popping mostly dies down I remove the lid and swirl the popcorn around a bit, which seems to do a pretty good job of popping most of the rest of the unpopped kernels. If I'm melting butter, I can just add a few teaspoons of butter to the wok once I remove the popcorn and the residual heat will melt the butter.

The Riehle farm popcorn doesn't necessarily taste much better than grocery store kernels, but their hulless variants don't seem to have any hull to get stuck in your teeth and throat. Sometimes I'm in the mood for that, sometimes not. I found the same kernels on Amazon for over twice the price the farm was asking for the same ones, and that was before shipping got added in. With shipping, the price directly from the farm was still less than the asking price on Amazon before shipping.
