Tamatar Masala Anda - Poached Eggs in Tomato Sauce
Pork Vindaloo - Pork Ribs in Spicy Garlic Chili Sauce
By :Instant Indian Cookbook - Rinku Bhattacharya |

Goan cuisine features a fair amount of pork, with Pork Vindaloo being the signature offering. For this recipe, I was inspired by a stove-top version by noted Goan chef Floyd Cardoz, and decided to make it with ribs instead. I simplified the list of ingredients and the Instant Pot® cut down the cooking time considerably. If you are a fan of meat and spices, this recipe is for you.

Instructions
- Sprinkle salt over the ribs. If needed cut the ribs into smaller pieces to fit in the Instant Pot®. Set aside while continuing with the rest of the prepping.
- Place the dried chilies, cumin seeds, cloves, cinnamon stick, Kashmiri red chili powder, and turmeric in a spice mill or coffee grinder and grind to a powder.
- Set the Instant Pot® to Sauté mode, and heat the oil for about 1 minute. Add the red onion, garlic, and ginger and sauté for about 2 minutes. Stir in the ground spice mixture and vinegar. Add the ribs and cook, stirring, until the ribs are coated and the mixture is a rich reddish-brown color, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken or vegetable broth and brown sugar and stir well. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Press Cancel to turn off the Sauté mode. Close the lid and set the Instant Pot® on the Meat/Stew mode for 25 minutes.
- When cooking time is complete, allow for Natural Pressure Release for 10 minutes, then use Quick Release for any residual pressure.
- Once the pressure is released, open the lid and set the Instant Pot® to Sauté mode and simmer to thicken the liquid. Drain off any excess fat.
- Garnish with the green onions and crushed red pepper and serve with steamed rice or crusty bread.
