Ingredients (5)
- 3 tablespoon olive oil, divided
- 1 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne, (or up to 1⁄4 teaspoon)

Directions
- Stir 1 tablespoon oil, curry powder, salt and cayenne in a small bowl.
- Coat the bottom of a heavy 4-quart saucepan with 2 tablespoons oil. Add a couple of popcorn kernels and cover pan. Turn heat to medium. When the first kernel pops, add remaining popcorn kernels.
