Recipe: Curry Popcorn

Here is a slight adaptation on an Aarti Sequeira recipe from her Youtube "Aarti Paarti" days, before she went to Food Network, and they renamed her show "Aarti Party". :)

Curry Popcorn

~serves two peepses

Ingredients:

3 Tbsp vegetable oil (I usually sub canola oil)

1/3 cup popcorn kernels

1 tsp salt, finely ground

1 tsp curry powder

1/4 tsp ginger powder

1/4 tsp garam masala (or you can sub cinnamon)

1) Put oil, along with 3 or 4 popcorn kernels, in a 3 quart pot on high heat, with lid on. Wait until all your tester kernels have popped.

2) Take the pot off the heat, then add the popcorn & all spices. Put the lid back on, shake to coat popcorn with oil and disperse spices. Wait 30 seconds.

3) Put the pot back on high heat, shaking periodically to prevent burning, until there are several seconds between popping sounds.

You're done! Remove from heat, toss in a bowl, and enjoy!

Get Up, Come On, Get Down With The Swiftness...

Gazelle moved. Dee worked it. Woo hoo! She did 39 minutes on the Gazelle while I danced around and played some Guitar Hero, ha ha. (And I know the title of this blog post was a bad joke combining a song (which is actually on Rock Band 2 rather than Guitar Hero, I believe) with a gazelle characteristic... get it... gazelle... swift... all righty then...)

Food for the day has been pretty standard, but we are going to rock some air-popped popcorn tonight while watching a flick. I've been digging into the more interesting flavors of frozen healthy meals the last couple of nights, leaning toward the spicy Asian flavors, and that's been a really nice change of pace.

Get down!
