Coconut Curry Popcorn

By On · 20 Comments

I’m back with another week of The Food Matter’s Project!  This week Kate (from Cookie and Kate) chose one of my all time favorite snacks: popcorn.

I’ve been known to stand on my soapbox before about making your own popcorn (and not buying pre-bagged, fake butter popcorn.)  So I was excited when Kate chose such a simple yet perfect snack!

I love popcorn because it is cheap and easily versatile.  Often you can find different types of popcorn in your local health food store bulk bins (in fact, the University I went to has their own blend of organic popcorn!)

I opted to mix my popcorn up this time. Usually I make a mock version of kettle corn but I wanted to go the savory route this time.  I seem to have a current obsession with curry powder so I thought, what the heck!  I also opted to use coconut oil instead of butter to keep popcorn vegan (and to keep in the style of curry!)

This popcorn turned out delicious and seriously made the perfect snack!  Plus, I always get great exercise when I make popcorn because I always get in a rhythm and shake the pot for longer than I need to!

For full instructions head over to Kate’s blog and to see everyone else’s ideas, check out The Food Matters Project!  Also, check back tomorrow for a special birthday post and a giveaway of some of my favorite things!

    I love, love, love this idea. Especially with a good and spicy curry powder…the perfect combo of spicy and sweet!

      I’ve been using this Thai Curry Powder I got from a spice shop and it’s sooo good!

    Sounds delicious! Definitely a flavor combination I wouldn’t have thought of myself, but am excited to try now.

    i always pop my popcorn in coconut oil bc i like the flavor it adds–i need to try adding curry powder next time!

    Yum yum yum. I cooked my popcorn directly in coconut oil. Next time I’ll drizzle in some more with curry powder like you did here.

      I didn’t even think to cook it in the coconut oil before hand but that’s definitely what I’ll do next time!

    I just confessed on Kate’s blog today that I’ve never actually made my own stove top popcorn (hangs head in shame) I didn’t think it could get better than the chocolate + spice version she had but coconut + curry sounds equally delicious!

      I’m al little ashamed to say that Rachel Ray was actually the one that saved me from my store-bought popcorn experience. But it’s the change of heart that counts!

    I love curried popcorn! The addition of the coconut flakes is genius :)

    I cooked mine in coconut oil but I was disappointed that it didn’t taste very coconut-ey. I like your idea of drizzling it on top and adding the toasted coconut flakes.

    I loooove the combination of coconut and curry. I just made some coconut curry kabocha squash and we loved it! I can’t wait to try this combo on popcorn :)

    I wish I could have participated this week because it’s been so fun seeing all the crazy popcorn flavors! This might be the craziEST though. And, coincidentally, one of my favorites. I love all things curry all the time.

    This looks so cool–ultimate gourmet/exotic popcorn!

    Question: how do you keep your popcorn hot? Whenever I mix my own popcorn it gets cold by the time I serve it!
