Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Preparing the spice paste

Gather all the spices from garlic to fenugreek seeds. Add them to a grinder along with vinegar and salt. Grind everything into a smooth paste.

Description - Step 3

Step 3: Pressure cooking the pork

Transfer the marinated pork, along with all the marinade, into a pressure cooker. Add a little water if needed (about ¼ cup). Close the lid and cook for 1 whistle on medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cook for another 10 minutes. Once done, allow the pressure to release naturally. Open the cooker and check if there's excess fat.

Description - Step 5

Step 5: Tempering and final cooking

Heat oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat. Slice the onion thinly and add to the hot oil. Sauté the onions, stirring frequently, until they turn golden brown and caramelised. This takes about 5-6 minutes. Add the bay leaf and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced pork pieces to the pan. Toss everything together and heat through for 2-3 minutes, allowing the pork to absorb the flavours of the caramelised onions. Adjust seasoning if needed.
