Ingredients

  • 35g/1¼oz popcorn kernels

For the toppings (optional)

  • pinch cumin
  • pinch chilli powder
  • pinch salt

Method

  1. Put the popcorn kernels in a lidded, microwaveable pot and cover with the lid. Alternatively, put them in a microwavable bowl and place a microwave-safe plate on top, ensuring a little air can escape while cooking.

  2. Microwave on high until the popping sound stops, this should take between 1–3 minutes, depending on your microwave. Carefully remove, sprinkle over your toppings, if using, and enjoy.
