Cinnamon-Cocoa Popcorn

If you want me to pick one snack which I never get bore munching is ‘Popcorn’. Till recently I liked rather say tried savoury flavours in popcorn like butter or pepper or red chili or curry leaf powder (idli podi) or chaat masala…..but on my recent trip to grocery store , I came across different flavours of ready made popcorn and I was surprise to see some sweet ones like strawberry and caramel. Wondering how they would taste like I picked up strawberry flavored popcorn. Somehow, I was not satisfied with the taste of ready made ones…..and dropped the idea of sweet flavored popcorn.

Sundays are most boring in my house. Lil’M mostly glued to TV or drawing/painting and husband busy with next day office presentations, meetings, etc. It is me who will be left with no work. I end up reading book or magazine most of the Sunday afternoons. When I was sitting in the patio stealing a quiet ‘me’ moment for myself; Lil’M snuggled around and asked me to make something to answer her snack hunger….where something always mean chocolate in her account. I thought of making chocolate milkshake, but then I was also feeling peckish and thought of making popcorn by giving it a twist and ended up making Cinnamon Cocoa Flavoured Popcorn.

Popcorn is like diet food to me. Not deep fried and can be popped in no time. I always wanted to try chocolate and popcorn together…but never got a chance. So when I was waiting for the popcorn to pop in microwave. I made my mind to add cinnamon-cocoa powder which was waiting in the shelf from long to go into hot chocolate drink. The result was absolutely yum….The first batch went in no time and then I made second batch to click and relish with my evening tea. The popcorn tasted best with fresh brewed mint-lemon tea.
