Spicy Popcorn with Mango Martini

This week was a busy week for both of us, hubby dear is travelling almost 300 miles every saturday….But this weekend he is not going to travel and we both will be able to watch SuperBowl Game………Hurray…….
So I thought to make some Spicy Popcorn and Mango Martinin……..which came out pretty good….and we both lounge on the couch enjoying our Mango martini and nice spicy popcorn………Oh I really love this……
FACT: Did you know that popcorn is among the healthiest and tastiest snacks around? It’s a whole grain food that’s low in calories and fat and it’s a complex carbohydrate.

Spicy Popcorn
Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Kernels
Salt to taste
1/2 tsp Chilli powder
1 tbsp Oil (Canola Oil)

Method:
Take a frying pan and a fitting lid. Put some canola oil in it and wait until the pan is hot.
Now add Kernels to the pan and mix it little bit or until few of them pop up. Be sure to set the stove temperature to medium at this point or expect a lot of burned kernels.
Put on the lid fast! Make sure no corns flip out. Shake the pan a few times to make sure all corns are loose. Now you will hear a lot of pops, just wait until all sound is gone. Now add salt and chilli powder in it and shake the pan so that they mix it properly with the spice. Now you can enjoy Spicy Popcorn…
