Give the pan a shake and wait until you hear the kernels starting to pop. Shake the pan again, then lower the heat to medium and continue cooking until the popping slows and the kernels are popped, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the popcorn to a large bowl.

SPICY POPCORN
This recipe is for the person who likes everything spicy hot!! I learned about this trick from a coworker who is a hot food freak! The spicy oil can be used for a varitiey of foods; different types of oils can be used as well. Peanut oil is the best overall choice, since it withstands higher temperatures.

Steps:
- Put the vegetable or peanut oil in a pot suitable for popping corn.
- Warm the oil gently and place sliced habanero in the oil (be careful to wash your hands after handling, and don't touch your eyes or nose!) Stir occasionally for 3 minutes.
- Be careful not to heat the oil too much; the smoke from the oil will cause your lungs and eyes to burn.
- Remove the sliced habanero from the oil and discard.
- Pop your popcorn like you normally would in the spicy oil.
- Add your favorite popcorn condiments, such as melted butter, salt, cheese flavoring, or my favorite, butter flavored sprinkles, and enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right popcorn: Use popcorn kernels that are specifically labeled for popping. Avoid using old or stale kernels, as they may not pop properly.
- Use a large pot: A large pot will allow the popcorn to expand and pop evenly. Using a small pot may result in overcrowding and uneven popping.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: Add just enough popcorn kernels to cover the bottom of the pot in a single layer. Overcrowding the pot will prevent the popcorn from popping properly.
- Heat the oil or butter: Before adding the popcorn kernels, heat the oil or butter in the pot until it shimmers. This will help to prevent the popcorn from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Add the popcorn kernels: Once the oil or butter is heated, add the popcorn kernels to the pot. Cover the pot and shake it vigorously for a few seconds to distribute the kernels evenly.
- Wait for the popping to start: Once you hear the first few kernels pop, reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue shaking the pot occasionally to prevent the popcorn from burning.
- Remove the popcorn from the heat: Once the popping slows down to a few seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat. Immediately transfer the popcorn to a large bowl to stop the popping process.
- Season the popcorn: Once the popcorn is transferred to a bowl, season it to your liking. Common seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder. You can also add melted butter or olive oil for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Making spicy curry popcorn at home is a fun and easy way to enjoy a delicious and healthy snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful popcorn that is sure to satisfy your cravings.
