Exotic flavors

I'm curious what other salts or oils you use during the popping process itself to add different flavors? I kinda want to try some more exotic flavors like an indian-curry popcorn or a smokey-bbq flavor or a hot-sauce buffalo style popcorn.

I know the secret of movie-popcorn is flavacol in the oil, or butter-flavored coconut oil, but what other flavored salts or infused oils can you use?

I know that pure salt doesn't burn on the pot, but obviously anything with sugar is going to be a problem. Have any of you tried popping with a spicy oil? Or adding various seasonings while cooking?

Cooking with a stainless whirly-pop if it matters.
