Variations
Curry popcorn: Toss warm popcorn with a little cumin, chilli and coriander or your favourite curry powder.
Sriracha popcorn: Sriracha is an Asian chilli garlic sauce that is delicious on popcorn. Toss in a little sriracha just before serving (it will go soggy if left too long).

Simple salt: Add a little sprinkle of salt to the warm popcorn.
Method
- Put popcorn in a paper bag and fold down the top a couple of times.
- Microwave on HIGH for about 2 minutes or until most or the corn has popped (if there's 3 or 4 seconds between popping noises, it's probably done).
- Be careful when opening the bag, the steam will be hot!
- Eat the popcorn plain or try some of the flavours below.
