The warm, savory flavor of curry is complemented by the subtle sweetness of coconut in this quick and easy popcorn recipe.
The seasoning is a simple mixture of curry powder, coconut oil, coconut flakes, salt and sugar. Use whatever type of coconut flake you like; sweetened or unsweetened, toasted, large or small, they’re all delicious. I prefer small, unsweetened flakes as they cling better to the popcorn, and then sweeten a bit with natural cane sugar which makes the mixture stick a bit better when blended into the popcorn.

Ingredients
- You Will Need
- Large pot with lid
- Small mixing bowl
- Large mixing bowl
- Silicon spatula
- Ingredients
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 5 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1 Tbsp Frontier Co-op Organic Curry Powder
- 1 Tbsp curry powder
- 1/4 cup coconut flakes
- 1/4 tsp Frontier Co-op Sea Salt
- 1/4 tsp cane sugar
Directions
- Using a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons coconut or vegetable oil over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes. I recommend a pasta pot with glass lid, so you can see what’s popping.
- To test the oil’s temperature, add 3 popcorn kernels. Once they pop, add the remaining 1/2 cup.
- Cover the pot with lid and cook.
- With a secure grip on the lid, shake the pot every 20 seconds or so to avoid burning the kernels.
- When you don’t hear a pop for about 30 seconds, remove pot from heat and pour popcorn into large mixing bowl.
- In small mixing bowl, melt remaining 3 Tbsp tablespoons of coconut oil. You can microwave in 10 second increments, stirring between heatings until melted. If your mixing bowl is stainless steel, you can heat for a few seconds on the stovetop.
- Once the coconut oil is melted and warm, stir in curry powder, coconut flakes, salt and sugar, and mix until blended completely.
- Pour mixture over popcorn in a large mixing bowl and stir or toss until the popcorn is thoroughly coated.
- Let stand 3 minutes and then serve and enjoy.
