Goan Style Pork Curry

I love everything that has anything to do with Goa. The last I was in Goa was probably about 9 years ago and every time I think back, I have this vague memory of eating a bowl of delicious pork curry at some old school Portuguese restaurant, right off the Baga Beach. Well, this is my not-so-authentic version of that memory and it’s definitely healthier and very very quick thanks to my Instant Pot.

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp oil
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 1 tsp coriander seeds
• 2-3 cloves
• 5-6 peppercorns
• 1 cardamom
• 1″ stick of cinnamon
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 red onion, sliced
• 3-4 cloves of garlic, sliced
• 2 boneless pork chops, cut into cubes
• 3 tbsp vinegar
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 tbsp tomato ketchup
• 1-2 tbsp sugar
• Salt to taste
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• 2 tbsp smoked paprika powder
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 2 tbsp curry powder
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup non fat sour cream

Preparation:

1. Turn the Instant Pot on Sauté mode and heat the oil.
2. Fry the seeds, garam masala and onions & garlic till golden brown.
3. Add the pork and sauté till Brown.
4. Add the vinegar, tomato paste & ketchup and cook for a minute.
5. Add the spices and seasoning.
6. Add the water and cover the lid and Seal.
7. Switch to Meat setting and set the timer for 15 minutes.
8. Let the pressure release naturally.
9. Add the sour cream and cook for a few more minutes on Sauté mode till it’s semi-dry.
10. Serve as tacos, kathi rolls or with roti. Or any other way you can think of!
