Ingredients

Popcorn kernels25 g
Dry weight, before popping. Popped in a pan with no oil.
Rapeseed oil1 tsp (5 g)
Lime juiceHalf a lime
Chilli powderHalf a tsp
SaltA pinch

Method

Heat the oil in a large lidded pan over medium-high heat, add the kernels, cover and shake until the popping slows to a stop.
Tip into a bowl and squeeze the lime over from a height so it mists rather than pools.
Toss with the chilli powder and salt and eat within ten minutes, before the lime softens it.

Worth knowing

Lime on popcorn goes soggy if you wait. Squeeze it, shake it, eat it.
Twenty-five grams of kernels for 141 kcal, and a third of that is the oil. Popped dry it drops by 45.
