Coconut Chile Surnoli
Turmeric Pork Curry
By :The Complete Indian IP Cookbook by Chandra Ram |

When I was a kid, coconut was the gateway for me to try just about any Indian dish, and I firmly believe that rule applies to adults, too. This recipe is perfect for people who are afraid to try Indian food; it’s gently spiced, creamy and impossible not to love. I serve it over rice so I can soak up every bit of the sauce.

Instructions
- Using the Sauté function on High, heat the coconut oil for about 1 minute, until shimmering. Add the onions and cook for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
- Stir in the salt, cumin, turmeric and chili powder; cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the ginger, garlic, curry leaves, and chile; cook for 2 minutes, until fragrant. Stir in the water, using a wooden spoon to scrape up all the browned pieces from the bottom of the pot. Stir in the pork and coconut milk.
- Secure the lid and cook on high pressure for 30 minutes.
- Once the cooking is complete, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure. Remove the lid and, using the Sauté function on Low, simmer the sauce for about 3 minutes, or until it thickens a bit; it should be pretty creamy. Taste and add more salt if needed. Stir in the chopped cilantro and serve.
