Sweet & Salty Curried Popcorn

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a 4-quart (or larger) pan over medium heat. Add several kernels of popcorn. When they pop, add the rest of the popcorn kernels and shake the pan lightly to distribute them. Cover the pan with a lid, but crack it slightly to let steam escape.

Step 2

Warm the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the curry powder and salt and stir to combine. Keep warm while the popcorn pops.

Step 3

When the popcorn finishes popping, pour into a large bowl and shake to make the unpopped kernels settle to the bottom. Stir the sugar into the warm butter and pour immediately over the popcorn. Stir thoroughly.

Step 4

Serve warm.
