6 reviews for Trader Joe’s Bollywood Popcorn (Tikka Masala Seaoned) Reviews
Rated 3 out of 5

I was intrigued by the idea of tikka masala-flavored popcorn (especially since it doesn’t have meat in it), and this does taste surprisingly like you would expect — popcorn with the flavor of the type of tikka masala dish you’d get from an Indian restaurant.
Having said that, while it was interesting as a novelty snack to try, I wouldn’t buy it again. It wasn’t bad, but I prefer other TJ’s popcorn (like the Movie Theater Butter kind, or the Chicago mix).

This was interesting, and a unique taste for popcorn (though very reminiscent of real Indian food spices), but not super delicious or something I would eat more than a little bit of at a time.

I had my doubts about this variety. I tried it a few days ago and was undecided. Tonight I’m watching Dr. Dee & sipping on wine & I can’t stop eating it. The spices are nicely balanced, the heat is great and the open bag is so fragrant. My son loves the dill pickle popcorn but I prefer this one. (I think a riesling would go better than the sauvignon blanc I’m drinking.)

Delicious is an understatement. My goodness. The best way I can explain it is a “happy heat.” If you’re a tikka masala fan at all, you know what I mean – it builds slowly but surely, with a lot of warmth, and it just lingers on and on, but it’s never overbearing. I’m kind of amazed it comes from popcorn and not an actual dish with chicken or paneer and rice.
Combine all that with perfectly munchable popcorn kernels – solid, fluffy, crunchy, well popped, without many (if any) widows. It’s a perfect snack.

This popcorn is my current snack addiction. The first couple of bites might taste “weird” to you, but trust me, keep munching. It is delicious! Full review here: http://traderjoes365.blogspot.com/2016/10/bollywood-popcorn.html
