toast the mustard seeds, sesame seeds and poppy seeds, briefly, in the same pan. You do not need to add extra oil for this. As soon as the seeds start to pop, turn off the heat and stir in the turmeric.
stir the toasted spices into the popcorn and then stir in the caster sugar, cayenne pepper and ground cinnamon. Stir in the kandi podi, if using (the addition of this spice mix is optional).
