Hot Buttery Corn With a Spicy Fajita Twist

Making your own savoury homemade popcorn seasoning is highly recommended! A quick look in the shops and online and you'll find a whole host of tasty-sounding savoury concoctions: Cajun, curry, Italian and BBQ flavours to name but a few. This is my easy-to-make fajita flavoured mix.

What You'll Need: (makes about 7 tablespoons)

2 tbsp paprika powder
2 tbsp coriander seeds
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp black peppercorns
2 tsp mustard powder
2 tsp onion powder
1-2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground/grated nutmeg

tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon

Directions:

Grind the salt, peppercorns, coriander and cumin seeds

Add to a bowl

Finally, add the cayenne, nutmeg, onion, mustard, garlic and paprika powders. Combine everything thoroughly

Store your homemade popcorn seasoning in a cool place in an airtight jar out of direct sunlight. Use within 6 months.

Using Your Popcorn Flavouring

How to Use: For 2 servings of corn I combine 4-5 tablespoons of melted butter with about 1½ tablespoons of the seasoning which I then pour over the freshly cooked corn.

I then give it all a good shake so it gets evenly coated and serve.

Note: There is a teaspoon or two of salt in the homemade popcorn seasoning. However, some folks may enjoy more salt. If so, you can sprinkle over some more after making.
